I really don't want to make a quilt unless it is a labor of love. For that reason when someone asks me how much I just tell them my prices start at $350. So far that has been sufficient to keep anyone from inquiring further.
Shortly after I started quilting,
a friend (who I was already planning to make a gift for) asked me to make one with her collection of fabric and I agreed if I got to keep what was left over and if there was not a time limit as to when she got it. Two years later she was ecstatic with receiving "Blankelroy" a queen sized 8" random squares front and back of all different colors and wale widths of corduroy tied at the intersections. It was my first completely machine stitched quilt and I learned a lot about what would and would not work with corduroy! Plus I have a nice stack of beautiful corduroy in my stash.
