To all quilters who don't want to be harassed by those seeking freebies:
Make a price-card ~
Customer buys the pattern, the fabric, and the thread.
Prices: Baby Quilt $350; Lap Quilt $400; Twin Quilt $500; Double Quilt $650; Queen Quilt $750; King Quilt $900.
Customer will pay in advance.
Customer will receive a finished quilt-top.
Customer is responsible for finding a longarm quilter to finish the quilt.
I guarantee you won't be bothered again after you hand them your nicely printed price list. 
I'm a lazy quilter-----------I'd NEVER let someone pick out a pattern for me to do. I'd offer maybe 5 or 10 of my favorites and that would be it.
What if they chose a 90,000 piece trip around the world?
