This is interesting to me... most people don't want just tops! Is this person a quilter who doesn't like piecing? Have you made a YBR before (so that you know how long it will take)? I think the biggest question for me is if they will be supplying the fabric- that will have a huge impact on the price.
YBR is a pretty simple pattern. I feel like I could whip that top out in a day, so I might charge a friend $100, someone else $200 (labor only). I haven't actually made one, though, so I might be dramatically underestimating the time required.
