You send me those 2 Fat Quarters and I will send you this pattern.
In a true barter, no money is exchanged..only one (or group) of item(s) for item(s). If someone wants to barter with you, and what you have is of more "value" than what they want to give, you can always "barter" for some item + money for some item. It is really up to the 2 people bartering. In the early American days, there was a lot of bartering going on because many people were cash poor, but had their own time (to quilt, cook, hunt etc) to barter with for what they needed...you know the famous pay the doctor with a chicken and an apple pie. We've come a long way baby.
