I used to have someone ask me to make them a queen size quilt and make myself $200 profit. I said I could type a 4 hour shift of overtime typing for that and not have all my spare time taken up. The best thing I did was explain to my mother the cost of the QS quilt my sister asked for. I told my sister the quilt would be for 7 years of birthdays and Christmases and I didn't make it till at least half way through that time despite grumbling. My usual gift for each of those events from my sister is 4 FQ so I think my sister got the better end of the deal. My mother now tells people the quilt on her bed (a gift) would cost at least $1000 for me to make.
