I love to make quilts for others - I don't always have the money to buy material so I love it when someone wants to supply me with the things necessary to have more fun. It also solves the problem of what to do with all the quilts I make ;) Have fun. Sounds like you will be busy busy!

My thoughts exactly! What a thoughtful gift. Hope they appreciate the time, effort and quality of this once in a lifetime gift. I have never heard of such a generous gift before. How fortunate they are!

Way to go on getting paid for making quilts! With what she's paying you can make the tops, send them out to be quilted and STILL make a nice profit (just make sure you get paid enough up front so you don't get stuck paying for the LAQ). That is, if you don't have a long arm machine of your own. If you do, that's even better!

Price each is a real windfall .... I would go for it... you have almost a whole
year to do it, and each one becomes easier. Set up your assembly line!

I agree getting paid to do something you love is great. Does she want all the quilts the same? Do you have a long arm machine? I'm so impressed!

I have to do all the quilting with my sewing machine as I don't have a LA. I will keep you up dates as things progress.
