I am one of those folks who can't visualize the end product. Your customer may very well be the same way. In my case, I would appreciate a "mock up." It can't hurt to try, but the final decision, of course, will be hers. I think you are a very thoughtful quilter to be wanting a happy customer in the end. Imagine how bad it would be if she hated the end result and you hadn't shown her a "mock up" or expressed your concern?

I have already received half of the quoted price...that way I am covered for the cost of materials if she doesn't pay second half. I agree with the mock up idea and will see what I can make up....I don't have EQ, so will just draw up something and show her.

Being a Buckeye fan, I love making the "O", but don't understand adding browns and tans. If the biggest part of a quilt is scarlet red, gray, and black....how does it blend with a room that is mostly brown? I guess I see it as a Buckeyes quilt and adding anything but gray or red is a travesty. It's a paying job and she will get it the way she wants....but it will also have my name label on it, so others will know who made it that way. How do you make something when you can't see the beauty in it? Am I being unreasonable....too much of a true fan?

Could you post a picture of your Ohio State Quilt - I love to see the different ones. Go Bucks - Thanks!!

If it turns out really ugly, I wouldn't bother with a label. I'd quilt it like she wants it and send it on it's way to it's new home.

No the Customer is not always right. However in this case they are paying you to make what THEY want, so in that they are right
