an offer I hate to refuse
I have been offered a deal: A woman has asked me to make a full/queen size quilt for her. She has the fabric and has chosen a pattern - Jacob's Ladder. In exchange she has offered a large box of fabric. She collected fabric in the past and sewed some, but lost interest and now only knits. I made a Jacob's Ladder a couple of years ago for my DGS, Jacob, so I know what it will take. I've not seen the box of fabric yet, but would like to before I commit. My question is, what would you charge to make a quilt - labor only? I'd like to be able to judge whether the fabric is a good trade. I have never sold a quilt, only give them to family and a few close friends.
