I'm one of those who say well I make $/hr at my regular job, and if I wanted extra money I could work overtime! I would never like the pressure of making a quilt for someone paying. I am still upset about a quilt I made for a friend of my husband, I didn't expect payment for the thing as I did it as a gift, but what I did expect was a THANK YOU note! Was that too much to expect.
I loved the article - reinforces what I tell those that want me to make them a quilt - "you would not want to pay what I would charge"
