When I was asked to make a quilt for a minister who was moving to a new charge I agreed but requested a "twoonie" ($2 Canadian coin) to help with fabric and batting cost from each member. No one seemed to mind and it really helped when one of our oldest gentlemen stood up and said his sister quilted and materials were expensive and a large quilt would take at least 12 metres of fabric. I certainly appreciated Harold's imput that day.
