I very quickly discovered that sewing with fabrics and a pattern that were not my choice and on someone else's timeline does not make me sing with joy. I had someone keep asking me to make her a bed quilt (at least double bed in size) and make myself $200. I told her several times I could make that working a typing shift on a Saturday and be over and done with it very quickly.
I made a baby quilt for my husband' s aunt to give to her great grandchild - she asked me to do this through my husband and I felt some degree of obligation. I basically charged what it cost me for outside borders and binding (the rest came from my stash) and I explained this was a one off deal. I work full time and quilt for my own enjoyment so I set a longish deadline that I felt I could cope with - my husband saw the top starting to come together and told his aunt it wouldn't be long. The upshot - my time frame came down by about 6 weeks BUT you can bet my husband won't do that to me again.
I too give lots of my quilts away.
