Before you agreed to make this quilt and accessories did you talk $$$$$ with your friend? If not then you should have. Hope this is lesson learned for you and us all. Always have a open discussion about cost of the quilt including cost of fabric and cost of labor before agreeing to make quilt for others. Also make sure the buyer agrees on the cost of quilt before making quilt. You can give a high questament of the cost of the fabric and the labor. What would you have done the lady could not afford the $700. Nice friend you are to "donate" your labor!!!
