If your skills are such that making a quilted bag looks as good - or better - than Vera Bradley, which is what I assume she was referring too, then by all means do it - IF THAT'S SOMETHING YOU WANT TO DO. But if she's wanting a Vera Bradley, and you don't produce that quality of work, I suspect she won't be happy. A handbag becomes part of your wardrobe. It's hard enough to pick a handbag for someone else. I want pockets here and not there; a zipper, not a flap- that kind of thing. And if you make it and she doesn't carry it, then you'll be hurt. But a small tablerunner is a good idea. Then you can get an idea of whether you really want to tackle a king sized quilt for her - which from experience, I KNOW cost you at least $500.
