I've done one quilt for money. NEVER AGAIN!!! Too much stress and I dislike feeling pressured about being perfect. My motto is "Better finished than perfect." The recipient loved the quilt and is going to show it to her niece who quilts professionally. I cringed at that but it is a much-loved quilt. She refuses to share it with her husband. I did have to change the fabrics a couple of times and I substituted several fabrics she didn't like but wouldn't tell me at first that she disliked those colors. Once the colors were satisfactory, I pretty much had free reign as to placement and what I quilted on it except for borders. She wanted her favorite Bible verses in borders - we compromised with addresses of them.
