I have also been asked by "people" who have seen some of my quilts-queen size - casually saying, "oh-will you make me one?" like asking you to bake a batch of cookies or something. I mean, they don't have a clue how much time goes into hand-quilting. And that is after all the time cutting and piecing! When you tell them they take about 800 hours to make and if I charged just $1.00 per hour (which includes the fabric), it would make it $800.00. That shuts them up pretty quick and they head to Sears for a $39.99 special!
