I would not send a bill, but I might consider calling up the sil and saying, Okay I have the top made, but I cannot afford the quilting. Offer her two choices, 1 - you can look up the names and numbers of LAQ in her area and send the flimsy (I would not send batting and backing) with the names and addresses and she can do the rest, or 2 - tell her it will cost X#$ to pay your local LAQ and you will send the quilt in once you have received the payment (in advance only).
Exactly what I would do!!
