Dunster & Margee - I have to agree with you both. I have made several quilts on comission and have felt pressured all the way. I did get paid more than double my investment. But I have sold several that I made "Just because I wanted to" for the cost of materials. That way I could buy more material to make more "Just because I wanted to"
quilts.

However, if a quilter does it for a business and can get the money she wants for the quilt then more power to her. It's a choice.
