Maybe she and others could:

Buy all the materials needed to make the quilt

Show up at your house to work hour for hour...had visions of the toothbrush and tile grout cleaner...windows and patio door glass, cleaning, polishing furniture and cabinets, raking leaves, cleaning flower beds... the list could be endless. If she doesn't show up...you don't sew..she'd already spent her money on materials...

BTW how slow can you sew?
This one is making me LOL! What a great suggestion! I'm having trouble visualizing someone actually taking you up on the offer!
