"No, I can't do that." is my response when asked to do something that just leaves me feeling cheated or under pressure. I bet she would purchase it for $20. Tell her to purchase a blanket and keep the quilt for yourself or simply give it away. To put a low price is too much. Giving it with a feeling of gifting is better.

I would smile and simply answer her "no."

I agree that offering $20 for a quilt is an insult. I've seen coffee cakes for that amount and they don't take the time, money or effort like a quilt.

Pretty fabrics!

I just priced fleece blankets at Ross, Tuesday Morning, and Big Lots. None were under $20, and few were even that low priced.
Just say, "No. Thanks for the offer."

I can just hear the "friend" bragging about her "steal" at your expense! Perhaps she needs some education about what all really goes into making a quilt. I have taught 2 gd's, 6 cousins, and numerous friends to quilt, and they are all so happy to have learned this skill. My 9-year-old gd made and donated a wall-hanging to the local psch ward because the felt the walls needed some decoration.

Since the fabric was a Christmas gift I think you should keep it.

My first thought too. Her suggestion is insulting.

Don't sell yourself short. You have put a lot of time making this quilt and the fabrics were a gift so it may mean a lot to you. It is a very nice quilt and you need to check around on like ebay and etsy to see what quilts like yours sell for. But---as someone told me a long time ago that it is your quilt and you can do whatever you feel comfortable. Good luck on your decision but the price someone offered is way too little for all the work you put into the quilt.
