Most people, even our best friends and family have NO IDEA what goes into making them a quilt or even a bag. In addition to the actual hours spent in the doing, I know I spend hours in my head planning and comparing, often cutting into my sleep: the more important the person in my life, the more I plan and fret. When I ask for a fair price based on the actual work, their eyes get big like saucers. They simply don't know.
