So I haven't given her an answer yet... please help.

Have her purchase all fabrics, and then just keep track of your time. Then you can figure $$$$ from your time. If it's fun, easy, and for a friend, the price is very reasonable. But don't give your time away either.

Made a quilt recently. Quoted the lady $125.00. After getting it done, my LA lady told me I could have gotten $1,200-$1,500 for us. The quilt had over 2,000 pieces in it. It was the best one I've made yet! Oh well, a promise is a promise and a deal is a deal. The lady told me after delivering the quilt to her that she wouldn't have paid $500.00 for it, as she couldn't afford that. They just don't have a clue as to how much work goes into making a quilt. Oh well.
