But then I won't quilt for others - I don't want to work with someone else's choice of pattern, fabrics, or on their timeline! If I were to make something like this I would probably charge $300 or more - the time you will spend doing this project will be more than you think it will be.
I agree - I think it could be a real pain (or a challenge - if you like challenges) to do.
If it were me - I would thank her for thinking of me - and suggest that she do it herself!
I think these should only be done as labors of love.
Most people have no idea how much effort is involved - and are expecting to pay less than a blanket purchased at a discount store - after all - it's homemade!
