If I have time left she wants me to make a 8ft table runner for the main table.

that is a lot of work and for that kind of money I would not use premade bias tape on them..too many seams and they are not always color fast...I would make my own to make sure it matches!

if she really understood what goes into 4 custom quilts she would have this to you a year ago...good luck on the time frame.

and I would send them out for the quilting!

Wow, I would like to see the fabric, do you have any pictures? What pattern, all the same or all different. The price sounds great! I agree, start now!

I'm sure you'll be happy to do it for her ... of course I hope the pattern isn't outlandishly difficult. They aren't going to be all king size are they?

Be sure to post photos as you progress along please.
