I think the ladies are expecting a lot from you if they ask you to quilt all their quilts. That's just my opinion.

thanks Waal--I'm mulling over how to deal with this. One complication is that there are only about 3-4 adults involved in this, the rest are young girls that are just learning how to sew. I'm considering inviting them out to my house and putting quilts on the frame and having them do the actual work--that way they can see how involved it is. But then I worry that will backfire and they will want to do it all the time! My time schedule is very tight between part time work and doing others quilts on the side. Sooo....think I'll just drag my heels on these stack of charity quilts and hope that they get the hint that it's a big time consumer!
