We all have stories like this .I would bet..as said those who don't quilt do not know the time or money involved..I learn the hard way ..I now like u have them buy everything..then quote a price..it is surprising how many decide they can live without a quilt..I am the only one in my WHOLE family that quilts..so even if I do it for free for them they buy all..that stops a lot of it..unless for something special..hopefully u can sell the quilt..maybe after she see the price she will re-think ..and take the one already made..if not it will make someone a great gift later.
