Oh, that's a good one. How much would you bet that they change their minds and decide that they really don't want the quilts after all. :wink:

And teach the grandkids! That's just imposing on your good will. How many more years are the grandkids in school? Will she expect you to make quilts for all the teachers every year?

Thats alot to ask of you, especially since you are recovering from surgery and she wants them in two weeks. She needs to either plan better or learn herself.

(And contact a fairy godmother for unreasonable requests.....lol!)

If it is a problem with money, I would ask her to buy the fabric. If it is time, maybe ask her to help.

I can't stand to touch flannel when it is hot outside. I'd rather have a thin batting.

Gee, me personally, I would have fun making that first quilt but 8 more? Not fun anymore.

So I would have to get paid enough for me to make them, not sure I would.

I agree, teach you daughter how to make them ... maybe she'll have 'fun' ... :wink:
