Usually these friends compensate me with a gift card to Dunkin donuts or an online shop so I can buy fabric and stuff.
I only do that because I seriously undervalue my work. I see the imperfections and can not justify what I would and should charge because someone who would buy the quilt is not getting perfect and that bothers me.
It sounds as though you just want to make quilts!!! The more you make the better you get. The only one who see's your imperfections is you!! We are our own worst enemy. If your happy with this method of payment...good for you. I mean if you don't have to put out any money and get to make beautiful quilts..great. I mean there is only so many quilts we can use anyway.
