Okay, my 2 cents. We all know how much time and effort it takes us to make a quilt soooo..... I would say yes, (if she was a really good friend) I might have one if you would be willing to just pay for the material, thread and batting that it cost to make it. You could say "I have put in about 120 (however many you did spend) hours creating the quilt and since you are such a dear friend, I have one that if you are willing to pay just for the materials, I would love for you to have it." Then, when she says yes, and you tell her the fabric/batting/pattern alone costs (oh about) $150.00. She will then pass out and never bother you again. Unless they do it, most people have not idea what "we quilters" all realize about the cost of materials, the time we work on a quilt, and the detail we put in our "love of quilting".
