A friend that works with dh wanted to know how much it would cost to make a king sized quilt for a friend of his that is getting married. I did the math and came up with the price of $650.

He also wanted a fancy center and I told him that would probably add more money for this quilt. It was going to be hand quilted.

Well, he said, "that is not doable". Really? I think he wanted me to drop the price to like $200! Hello?!

I explained that the fabric alone would cost a lot more than that, plus batting, thread and backing. I tried to explain to him the costs of fabric and the increase in all material. Plus, my time hand quilting it should be worth something!

Needless to say, he wants something much smaller! I really don't think I want to make anything for him. He seems to think I am over charging.

But, he is an advid hunter and thinks nothing of spending big bucks on equipment to go hunting with!

What is wrong with people?! LOL
