Now what you were saying makes a bit more sense.
I think you are saying...
You are not asking her to pay you to make the quilt.
She wants to maybe help a bit more than just the fabric?
If she provides/reimburses all the materials (fabric/batting/thread) anything over and above that (if anything) should be considered a gift from her to you and at her discretion.

However, in the spirit of her wanting to help you, if there is something you need/want you could let her know... give her the opportunity to feel as if she's helping you but not feel as if she's "paying" you to make it.

Is that close to what you were meaning?
