I have talked to her, she is paying me for materials upfront. I will be using Moda Marble type fabric, she wants certain ones and I have sent her to two sites Favorite Fabrics and Marshalldrygoods to choose. I will tell her how many yards I will need so she can pay me. Once I get the money, I will then order the fabric and start the quilt.
I am using the book by Eleanor Burns Radiant Star which is a Strip pieced quilt. I have both books that she did on the Radiant Star and dvd on this and plan on doing my own homework while waiting on her to pay me.
I also told her it would probably be next year before I would have it done, she is ok with this.
This will be a nice challenge for me as I got to pick the pattern, she lives in Texas so the star fit.
I have not made up my mind yet if I will charge for my time or not, this is a learning experience for me which is going to be worth it's weight in gold!
I do appreciate everyone's imput from their own experiences, it does help thank you so much.
