    All I can tell you is Henry Ford proved that assembly line is the most efficient way to finish in a timely fashion. Is that possible with this pattern? Good luck dear!

    That sounds great and would be fun if you could do each one a little different from the others... My daughter asked me (at the last minute) to make her bridesmaids' gifts (travel bags) and I had to turn her down... I had already made her 4 bridesmaids' dresses, two jr. bridesmaids, and a very elaborate flower girl dress, not to mention altering the wedding gown to fit and making the bustle, altering suits and pants for some of the guys, and a Marine corp dress blue coat for my husband to give her away in. I also made the ring bearer pillow, flower girl basket, the wedding arch and 8 tablecloths for the big round tables at her reception. Enough was enough, LOL!

    You are going to be a busy person. It's a big compliment to your work to be asked to make these for wedding party gifts. Congratulations.

    That sounds like fun and she is paying you what appears a fair price per quilt. Better get sewing. ~smile~
