This happened recently at my job.I was asked for a "memory" quilt for a coworker and then she asked how much would the materials be.I said that I could give her a list of yardage I need for the quilt and she could pick up the fabric.She said she would have NO IDEA what would look good together so would I mind doing it.I did;then made the quilt (and quilted it).Then I gave it to her,(it was for her husband for a xmas present);we went on vacation from work the day after that.When we came back she paid me for the material I had bought for it(queen size) and had gave me a "tip" for doing such a wonderful job!The tip was 80$.So my lesson was learned that if or when someone asks for a quilt- I most definitely include my portion along with the cost of the fabric.
