This works very well for me as I love going to the meetings and if someone else pays can go an extra day.
I don't do this because the quality of fabric they purchase might not be good. When I started quilting, I started with what I would consider cheap fabric (most were those FQs from Joanns). Not knowing what to look for, many were very thin and the quilt I made for myself only 5 years ago is now coming apart. The quilt has been washed less than 10 times. If someone insisted they buy the fabric, I would definitely make them sign a waiver of quality if it falls apart a few years down the road so you can't be sued in small claims court for bad workmanship.
