I hope it works out for you. I would certainly take the advice from those who offered it.

This is an art quilt, a piece of art. He obviously realized that you are an artist. You need to remember that you are an artist. A fabric interpretation of anothers original art can be ok for personal use but iffy to sell. That said, pick your subjects carefully - your art work is awsome. I drink to your success- hear, hear, a toast, (wine) to your success.

Please consult a lawyer. It may cost you a bit, but it will also protect you. Good luck.

This is a good point because that quilt was a great deal of work. If he is serious about his offer I think this could be a good opportunity. Good luck and keep in touch.

Are you sure this wasn't just an extravagant compliment like the people who suggest a great cook open a restaurant? Despite the cost of materials these days, the greater investments required in high quality quilt production are time and expertise.

A friend of mine was a wonderful seamstress, she sewed for her daughters and made various items to sell at craft shows. I asked her once why she didn't do it to make some extra money and she thought it would take the fun out of her hobby. So I would let him know that once it is no longer fun that you would stop.

he's being paid for his investment and she's being paid for her labor which takes her own time.

edit: expecting to make money for your own work is not greedy.
expecting to not make money for your own work is self-defeating.
we're worth more than nothing.
