And quilt making is NOT unskilled labor!!! Just because you do it for a hobby or your own personal pleasure does not mean that you should have to do it for pennies an hour for somebody else.
When you get paid for a quilt you are in business, even if it's just once, it's still a business transaction.
Well Said, ScissorQ!!
And I'll add ... once you do one at a less than realistic price, you have set a precedent. So what then, when that same person says I'd like another? .... or a dozen?
One should treat themself fairly ... unless they want to be treated like a doormat!
If they want cheap .... then tell them to go to WalMart!
