Unfortunately, non-quilters have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA when goes into a quilt from start to finish. As a fairly new quilter, I can't believe how much work goes into finding or creating a pattern, selecting fabric that will make the quilt pop, cutting . . . and cutting and cutting, pinning and piecing -- always being held hostage by the 1/4" seam, pressing . . . border(s) binding, perhaps appliques . . .
People are spoiled by the "ready-made" world: Go to the mall, find something, buy it, use it tonight! They have no clue. That's why you're hard-pressed to charge a reasonable price and actually get paid that.
It's sad.
