I made one T-shirt quilt (trade with a neighbor) top only, never again!! I would have no problem declining such a request. To me that feels like sewing, not quilting.
Stained glass is awesome, I would love to see some pictures! I had a friend who did that. He would do commissions both for pay and for friends, but on his own time. His rule - the first time you ask me, "when do you think it will be done?" that's it. Forget about it.
