I charged 200 for my labor to a freind on a 117- 117 quilt, and then the cost of fabric and laq then i gave him the bill and he said he only wanted to pay 400 i said by the time I was done with it all 400 just covered the quilt costs and not me, I actually had to get nasty to get any money from him this was a gift to his wife. it really put a damper on our friendship because he avoided payment for close to a year. unitl i had to get ugly.
