The lady is perfectly willing to pay for the materials. I am thinking of perhaps charging her for the class I have to take to learn the pattern as well as $10.00 an hour or maybe I will charge her what I make per hour at work? I am going to have to have it professionally quilted and she will have to pay for that.
I believe she is looking for just a twin size quilt. Does this sound about fair since I am still a new quilter (I am coming up on my one year anniversary)?
Sounds fair to me, and I have included the cost of classes into the price. Write up an estimate for her, get 50% up front. Have her sign it and make a copy for her, (you keep the orginal).
