I have been making photo quilts for all the grandkids for their high school graduations. My SIL asked me if I would make one for her dau. At first I wasn't going to, but then I decided I would if she wanted to pay me time & material. I told her everything that goes into it and told her I would want $12 an hr plus cost of fabric. That sounds like a lot of money, but it's a lot of work. It happens this year I don't have to do one for the gks, so I will have the time. They (her & her husband) decided they want me to do it, so I am. I don't think $12 an hr. is unreasonable. It is a lot of work and it takes away time you could be spending on your own projects. That alone makes it worth that much.
