A friend of a friend - - hmmm --
Do you WANT to make them?
Maybe you can teach her how to make them?
It is a lot - but if you value your time?
Does this person work outside her home? Do you have any idea how much she makes per hour?
Make sure you discuss WHY this would cost this much with the person.
When people see ads for "any size quilt for $39 or $49 or $59 dollars" - that's the price many of them have in mind - and if they supply the fabrics - hey - you should pay THEM for the privilege of working with them.
