when my adult children request special quilts if i am going to be compensated for them all i ask for is cost of materials- i do not try to make a profit from my kids- just cover costs- it does let them know fabric is not cheap- there is a reason why my quilts are expensive- they have a better appreciation.
the quilts that have been for my kids, by birth, by marriage, by adoption- i do not expect any compensation for- but if they call and ask me to make a quilt they are going to give away to someone else then they have to pay for materials.
