Hi Connie, love your rooster, (my Mum would to!) yes I agree I used to do weddings as well, you are so right, the ones who know the least about fabrics and textiles are the ones who expected impossible things from satins and lace, not having a clue what the fabric is actually capable of doing! I promise I shall put up some of my paintings for you when I get organised!

PS. Just another thought on the pricing of quilts, reputation and experience of the quilter would also be a contributing factor I should think as to what could be reasonably asked for.
