Are you a newbie to this site or to quilting? If to quilting - T-Shirt quilts can be tricky, especially for a new quilter. But.you can probably still get out of it when you tell the person what it will cost. They often have absolutely no idea. As others will tell you, make a list of all actual prices (not purchased on sale, but actual pricing). She may give you the shirts, but you will be purchasing stabilizer, sashing, borders, backing, thread, new rotary blade, etc. You will be using your home, so factor in electricity (irons use lots of power!). This is even before you start thinking about your time. The size is pretty much determined by how many shirts she wants you to use. (FYI - I get most of my materials wholesale and would not make larger than a throw size t-shirt quilt and I would not charge less than $250 - a that is a friend's rate! If not a friend, it would be a lot more, if I even did it)
