Until you both agree to what you (1) understand the arrangement to be and (2) both sides agree to it, you'd be amazed at how screwed up things can get and how quickly.
I also agree to start small - do not agree to a fixed number of quilts or other (quilted) items such as purses/totes ON A SCHEDULE for several months down the road. You both need to see what he can sell and in what time frame.
As good as this sounds, he may NOT be as successful selling your items as he may think or hope. Does he have any experience marketing and selling quilts? I doubt it. Every market (buyer) needs to be approached differently, and he needs to learn about selling quilts before he commits also.
Protect yourself first. I speak from my own experience and that of several friends and guild members.
