I have not made a quilt and sold it, but have done other things. I make wedding gowns, etc. I tell them to buy the fabric and all the supplies and I will just charge labor, $25 per hour. Most of the time they price all the fabric and I never hear from them again. Fine by me because some people are a real pain in the end. I find that way they get an idea of what a product REALLY costs. If you buy the fabric and charge them accordingly they still don't really get it.
Yup, my point exactly. If he's a true collector, the price of the fabric and materials won't phase him a bit. Good luck on your endeavor.
