He'll start listing the costs of everything including his time off from work. Then tell him that you just want a small bear and couldn't he do it for $200?
If that's not hitting the nail on the head. I agree. Some people just don't see the value in what we do simply because they have no interest in it. You can't make a king for any less than that price she quoted. If it were me, I wouldn't make the quilt for him.
