I smile sweetly and say that I don't make "request" quilts. I continue by saying that I don't make quilts for sale. "The first quilt I sell will be the last quilt I make, because then it becomes work and not something I do for pleasure." You would be surprised how many replies I have gotten that "Oh just one time won't hurt." I then explain that I am retired. If I have to make a quilt that is a pattern that someone else wants, fabrics/colors of their choice, and have a time frame it would become a job. I say that there would be nothing in that quilt that I want. I keep smiling the entire time. I do make quilts that I give to family and friends and even friend's dogs! When I make quilts, they are part of me, and selling them or making them specifically for someone for money would be like selling part of me.
