First thing to ask is what is she willing to pay, explain that quilt fabric, batting, etc., is pretty expensive. You wouldn't want to use poor quality fabrics and have it fall apart. Second, get a deposit. I have a friend who had a friend that "always wanted" a quilt, she didn't get a deposit, she's made the quilt, notified the "friend" it was done, and hasn't heard or seen the "friend" since. Third, you need to know what she likes: modern, country, etc., size of the bed, does she like the old time wrinkled look, if so, don't prewash the fabrics. These are all things I can think of right now that you definitely need to find out, before you start on her quilt, she may be thinking you'll make it for under $100, you can't compete with Wal Mart, K Mart or stores like that.
