Well she hit the roof...expected me to do it for free and she thought the materials were too high. She wanted twin sized quilts.
why don't you get them to buy the fabric and then charge them to make the quilts. Maybe if you get some one else to give a quote too, your family will know how expensive every thing is to buy. That is why I only make one per person and any baby quilts will still be alright for a teen to show off to his/her friends,
