LOVE this quilt!!!! Will definitely put this on my bucket list! ha!
In regards to the pricing...did I see somewhere on this site that someone recommended 5 times the amount of the cost of the materials? That's probably too much for your friend.
On the other hand if she does want to give you a fair price (one that you both agree on even if it's lower than what you might sell to others) you might consider letting her pay it out over a period of time. That way she can budget for it and stay within her means and you get paid a fair price.

figure out how much you have into it; include the price of backing, batting and thread...then see if (breaking even) is enough or if you want to add a little bit for your time. even for family members i try to at least break even. it just depends on the project, the person, how much time it took...deciding to charge for a profit is a very fine line. some people say take your cost's and triple them for a retail price, some people think you should charge by your time + materials...it is different for everyone's specific situation. but at least add up your costs and try to get that much.

Has she mentioned a price she can afford? If she is on a fixed income I imagine that it will be difficult for her to pay much. I guess this one will be mostly like a gift with her paying for the out of pocket materials if you want her to have it.
It is a beauty and worth much more than she can pay, I am sure.
