Last November, Black Friday to be exact, a casual friend on FB messaged me and said a friend of hers wanted a queen size quilt for his daughter's birthday. He didn't know what pattern, said my friend, but wanted "Lots of different colors." When was the birthday, I asked? Dec 29 but he was leaving on the 18th. Could I have it done by then? And how much would it cost?
Well, after I nearly spit apple cider all over my computer screen..
I said I couldn't do any more projects before Christmas, and had never made a quilt larger than twin, and the estimate would be $1300. She wrote back, "Did you mean $1300 or was that a typo---did you mean $130?"
Not a typo, I said. The fabric alone would cost more than 130. She said, "Hold on, I'll message him." A few seconds later, "He said Sorry. He can't afford that. He'll go to Pottery Barn."
