My dear friend said she really wanted me to make her a queen size quilt. Before I could say no, she went on to tell me she would pick out the pattern and colors soon. She then added that she'd pay me $25 for the quilt. I had just made my first quilt which came about because I had taken a 6 week quilting class. And I had to buy my fabric at the store, the cost was over $200. I was able to interrupt my friend to tell her that I was way too new at this quilting to ever make her a quilt, the answer was a gentle, but firm no.
