There are people who will pay to have a quilt hand quilted--often an inherited quilt top or something of sentimental value--when they don't have the skills. Our quilt group did one recently for a mother who wanted her grandmother's incomplete top quilted so that she could give it to her son. Unfortunately, the time involved is so great that there is no way they can reasonably compensate you for your time. We tracked the time we spent on this quilt--as a group--and I think the payment, which was a generous donation to a charity of our choice, wound up being less than 50 cents an hour.
