What a great response! I get asked quite often, "What would you charge to make me a quilt?".
And I expect what they're really asking is "Will you make me a quilt no charge?"
I usually go with the flow...I've made a few for some people I'm really close to, and give them for a birthday, etc.
What makes my flow "interrupted" is when I'm asked to make something, and it's immediately followed by, "It shouldn't be THAT difficult, right??
