I cannot imagine anyone selling their unquilted tops even for the price of the fabric, especially to a person or organization that will sandwich them, quilt them, then sell for an amount 2 to 5 times the cost of what you put into it. I would rather give my tops away than have someone become wealthy ot my expense. We are told to: "Do unto others as they would do unto you." What I would do is commission my tops for a percentage of the selling price over my cost & time, as an example double my first quote. Fair? I think so.

Yes, but are you talking about piecing or quilting? Aren't they bringing you their pieced tops and you're quilting them?
