I have been a crochet teacher in our school districts for many years and cannot get over how people just EXPECT you to donate your time and supplies to give them. There are those rare exceptions, of course. People certainly don't have a CLUE how long crochet projects take and I would definitely say that quilting requires MUCH MORE time, energy and materials. We have to be assertive; the other person certainly is. I think quoting a price and time of wait is excellent and will indeed drive out all but the serious person.
