Suggest a nice wall hanging. You will put too many hours of your valuable time into a full quilt for a person who really does not understand the time involved. Having her remove the buttons and collars and cuffs is a good start in her education. I imagine the wall hanging would mean a whole lot more to her if she made it herself. Offer to teach her how to make it herself for a fee, of course. If she was a close friend and you knew her dad it might be different. Also, 7.50 and hour flat rate is too low - 12 to 15.00 per hour is more in line. Keep in mind it isn't only your valuable time being consumed; your fee also has to cover wear and tear on your machine, rotary cutter blades, electricity, chocolate and wine.
