Hi Toogie, Just some thoughts on what to ask the PT. 1) Is he the person who is in charge of soliciting this quilt, or is someone else more directly involved? That person may be able to give you the best answers. 2) What will the quilt be used for? A raffle? Donation for a charity event? If a charity event, is this something you personally believe in and want to put your effort into? 3) Please don't be shy about asking him if you will be paid for your time. Folks don't realize the tremendous time and effort that goes into a quilt. A baby quilt alone can take 20 or 30 hours. You may want to give him a realistic estimate of the time this may take you. Perhaps that will help him understand just what it is he's asking of you. Folks used to want to "commission" me to knit for them, having no notion of the time commitment involved. When I was custom spinning and knitting shawls, I wound up making perhaps 50 cents an hour. I used to babysit for that much back in the 60's.
