"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 think you are selling yourself short, here are two examples of a charm pack with 42 pieces - Moda, and 5 - half meter cuts (Canadian Prices) Measur[ATTACH=CONFIG]607018[/ATTACH]e your quilt and see what it adds up to[ATTACH=CONFIG]607017[/ATTACH]

I would just tell them that you made it for yourself as the fabric was a gift and leave it at that. You don’t owe anyone an explanation as too your decision. There is no sense offering to make her one or even have a conversation about another quilt, they have no clue about quilts by the offer. Best to shut the door on this one and leave it closed. Pretty fabrics!

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.

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.
