I understand the discomfort telling her the amount it cost! In my opinion you are one very lucky lady to be able to play with such wonderful fabric at someone elses expense. I would love to be able to work with such but our present economical status keeps me using scraps and my fast dwindling stash. I would be thrilled to have someone buy me the fabric with the instructons to make a work of art. What fun I would have playing in my hobby at their expense!
Can't wait to see the quilt.
