Just a thought to ponder....does this lady have any idea of the costs involved?? A complicated design is going to take so much longer than a straightforward checkerboard and she may only want to pay you for a 'basic' quilt!!

I think red and white checkerboard looks wonderful and not plain at all. The magic is in the fabrics and in the contrast.

CoventryUK, the quilts I make are gifts but I like to try to make something they will like so I ask what their favorite colors are, what style they like and what size they might want. I'm sure this lady has no idea what is involved in making a quilt..............but again, this will be a gift and she'll get it when I get it finished so it might be a year or so before she ever sees it.

Was just made aware that the pattern I was going to use was written in a foreign language so will have to keep looking for another pattern similar or go back to the drawing board. AW SHUCKY DARN!!!!!
