Most of us quilt for the joy of creating something unique. It's a creative hobby. I don't think about the value of my time (The old joke ends "What's time to a hog?")
When I fed my friend's dogs when she was out of town, I noticed the full gun case that her husband has along with his 4-wheeler, his bass boat, a couple of trailers, and his giant truck to pull all that. That surely is expensive deer chili and fish they are eating.
