She did an amazing job on your gorgeous quilts. Good luck. She deserves something that is for sure.

Beautiful job on the quilts. I think a donation to her favorite charity or a gift card is a fabulous idea.
|
I think it would be nice to just pay her what you had agreed on, minus a bit...maybe the 5% per month that was mentioned before. I would send a check, and if she didn't cash it, at least you tried.

I would offer her the money minus a modest deduction for the work taking her so long. She's made a very magnanimous gesture but I can't imagine that she would want to do that beautiful quilting for free. There aren't too many of us that couldn't use some extra money.

I would send her the money minus a percentage. And a note telling her you appreciate her thoughtfulness, BUT it is beautiful work and you do owe her. She probably sews for a living and I would think she would take the money. You might want her to do more for you some time.

Dina The only thing said about money is that she would "try" to keep the first quilt cost to under $200. We never discussed a price on the second quilt. I do not have an agreed-upon price to base a discount on. What do you think a fair price would be for these quilts based upon your experience with what long-arm quilters charge? |
Based on a $200 charge for the first quilt, she'd be charging about 5 cents per square inch (I hope my math is correct!). At that price point, the second one would be about $110. Hope that gives you something to go on.

I agree with the gift card or basket idea
|
I would pay her the agreed price less 10 percent. I know what it's like when life gets in the way of our craft. But she did do the work, and it's beautiful. I think she's being very gracious to suggest no payment, but she did put in the time when she got to it. IMHO

Your quilts, and her quilting are beautiful. Not sure what you should do but her work is beautiful and she really should be compensated. I think you are a really wonderful person for feeling this also.
