I agree. That's why I was wondering and wanting to ask you all on here. Also, I don't FMQ yet either. So, if she wanted it from me it would be SID or someone else would have to do it.

Anyone else intersted in doing a quilt for someone? LOL
Make just the top, and have her pay for just that and have her send it to the longarm quilter.
TRIPLE the full cost of the fabric involved for a general idea beginning cost...
add more if you got the fabric on sale and/or are making a complicated pattern....
