A friend had asked me to make her daughter a quilt. I told her they were very expensive. I told her $10 a yard, not to mention time/labor. She said she'd pay me for my time. She only paid me for $10/yard. When I told her that the quilt used up ___ and 1/3 of a yard, she ended up paying me ___ and $3! I was very surprised. Long story short, I love her and made her help 50-50 with any future quilt. She pays for all material and quilting. She also brings me out to dinner a few times, since she lives 40 minutes away and HAS to eat something. I never have any food ready here, because that's part of the deal I make!!!
