I agree totally. I tell anyone that sends me a quilt that shows carelessness in finishing (not wavey borders) that I have someone who will put her quilt in order for xxxx number of dollars but it is not fair to the other quilters that are waiting on me for me to take enough time to "finish" their quilt myself. They either pick it up and do the work or they let me give it to the friend that does the finishing for me.
