Some people have no clue; I made a rag quilt for a co-worker and hand appliqued animal prints on the back and this other co-worker wanted to know is I'd make one for her daughter; then she added that she can get them at the consignment shop for 15 to 20. I told her she'd better get them there then because it cost me more than that in flannel; let alone the batting and applique. If I liked her I would have made on for free but since I don't I'm not going broke for her.
