I was going to say what everyone one else was saying, but then re-read your post-she's a quilter-she knows what the fabrics and supplies cost, she knows the time it takes, she took advantage of you, first off, second, she's not a "friend", at least not in my opinion. Tell her to either make her grandsons the quilts that they want or cough up money up front for you to make them.

I'd hand her a bill with the $20 deducted as the down payment!
That's terrible to treat you like that!

OMG
never do anything for her again.
if it were me, the friendship would end over this. how insulting, she knows how much things costs and how much time it takes.
if all she could afford was $20 she shouldn't have asked you to make a quilt.

You could always tell her you were sure she made a mistake when she wrote the check, and being a quilter herself, you know she would want to know she had mistakenly left off a zero! ;)

Missed the part that she is a quilter. Someone suggested that you teach her to make them. If you don't feel too used, already.

I am just shaking my head at the gall of this friend. Whatever you do, don't make two more quilts for her. Just don't.
