I have never made anything that I would sell, but if I ever do, I think I'd give them a couple patterns I would be comfortable making. I would also explain that I pay a LAQ to do that part so they are completely aware of that cost up front. Then we could shop for their own fabric, backing and batting that would be paid for by the customer. Before bringing the quilt to the LAQ I would show them the top to be sure everything is to their satisfaction. Then I would expect them to pay the LAQ fee. (They might like input into what they would like for thequilting...) Upon completion of the binding, I would then expect them to pay me for what they feel is a fair price for the job I did. This way, the customer is involved and understands what it means to make a quilt.
