One of my student's mom's felt strongly her daughter would survive not seeing me every day (5th grade does end :wink: ) unless she had a quilt made by me. I told her I didn't do orders because there's too much I want to do and I don't do it for the money. But she wore me down. I told her $15 an hour, but I didn't know how long it would take. I told her it wouldn't go over $300. They paid for the flannels, and I kept close track of my hours and it came to $250 or so--but she gave me $300 anyway.

It's just not something I want to do. If something's going to go wrong--you know it'll be when the project is someone else's

Another parent asked, and since she was also a friend, I said "no, but I'll teach you how to make one for your daughter."

Sigh.... I hate saying no, but I'm getting really good at it.

Good luck--go by the hour--give her a cap--and see what she says.
