Well I know this person will appreciate the quilt. He collects them. He saw the small one that I made for my son and is wanting one for himself, just a lot larger. Earlylace, I never thought about tripling the price of the materials. I think the problem is that it is hard for me to charge someone for making a quilt. However, I know he can afford it and I do not want to do all of that work for nothing. I also do not want to say just pay what you think it is worth. I did this once with someone else and was very disappointed. I will have to pray about this one some more and keep looking at your suggestions.
