My guess is the quilt at the baby shower would be for a baby's use in a crib which you could quickly do some. If he wants a larger quilt, that's going to go that fast. I'd do one at a time, add up your investment of materials including thread, then add time. 50/50 cut is not a fair exchange. You do it all and he reaps the reward so to speak. Find out what your quilting what they think time spend is worth.

I agree that your quilt shown is amazing......just keep talking to this person till you feel how "solid" this offer is.....everyone's very best wishes for you

If it's someone you can trust then what are you waiting for DO IT.

This could be a great opportunity for you. Excellent advice already given so I'll just wish you the best of luck!

Sew away! After you take all the advice and precautions posted here... Many (like me) would envy such an opportunity!

BEST OF LUCK I HOPE IT WORKS OUT FOR YOU

Oh yes!!! Definitely! You GO, girl!!! :thumbup:

NO....first off...his buying materials means what...you can't buy materials until you know what you are going to make!
Are you planning to do more quilts like your sons? Then you need to copyright your designs...if they are copyrightable! If you have never done consignment or piece work you need to find someone who has and talk to them about what to expect. Sadly you will find that we will be working your butt off and will have little to show for it in the end. Especially if you are splitting the end monies with someone!

AND just whom is he planning to market your quilts too?
Is he able to target an audience that will shell out $200 for a baby quilt? Remember, even if the cost of materials is covered by him, he expects to double that for a profit...so that means you do all the labor, at say $10 an hour, and then you have to double that for a profit.

Yes, I would but I agree go slowely.

Good advice....he may have unrealistic expectations of how much quilt would bring in.
