I admire those of you who have suggested teaching quilt-moochers to make one themselves. That is a lot of time! Chances are most will say no, but you may have someone who takes you up on it. Instead, you could tell them you are incredibly backed up and refer them to the local quilt shop for a beginner's class or to get a referral to someone who does this for a business. Someone suggested you say you are already "overwhelmed" with quilt projects. That's a good one, too. I have a friend who doesn't want to make quilts for people who ask -- at any cost. She begins by saying, "The minimum fee for me to make a quilt is $800, for any size. That does not include fabric and other materials. If you are still interested, I will give you an estimated price." No one has asked for a price yet -- lol. The key is to be nice, but firmly say you are already booked up, or that you don't make quilts for anyone other than your closest friends or family.
