I'm not a very gutsy person so I would settle for whatever they decide to pay if a price hadn't been agreed upon beforehand. I made a quilt for a friend and she suggested a price beforehand and asked me to make it for that. Since she was a dear friend, I didn't take any money for making it for her to give to her daughter. She also was a widow on a limited income. I grudgingly made the quilt and shipped it to her. She passed away within a week of receiving it. After that experience I make quilts and give them as gifts on special occasions.
