Last night I received a phone call from a lady who machine quilts. She was at an auction, bought a quilt and took it home. It's from the 1930's!!! A dresden plate pattern was used. She thinks, but cannot be sure, that they are ACTUAL feedsacks!! She wanted the quilt a bit larger so has added some borders with repro fabric. She was going to machine quilt it but decided that would not be 'right'... couldn't agree more. BUT she does not handquilt. She was given my number. I will be looking at the top in March - the question - how much to charge. I will be supplying the batting - that part is easy - however much I paid for it... the hard part - how much to charge for the hand quilting??? Does anyone have any suggestions.
