I am sure that my views on this matter will not be accepted very well, but I think that it is a side of the discussion that needs to be addressed. Since the issue of price was never discussed at the time the project was given to you, it is my opinion it is now a moot point, as you will have to accept whatever she is willing to pay. You lost control of the situation when you continued to work on the quilts and never expressed your concerns about time and costs to the gal. The prices that have been suggested may seem reasonable to other quilters, but to someone unfamiliar with quilting and unprepared for the bill, they are outrageous and shocking. You need to sit down with this person and talk this over to reach a price, and as bearisgray suggested, chalk it up to a learning experience when you get paid much less than you feel you deserve.
