Keep in mind at some point may have to let her know you think somthing just didn't go.... in a nice way! :)
All pieces chosen are Great !!
About as far as i go with asking someone what they like are, what colors do you like.

and of course will be watching for updates !!
Happy Quilting !!

Thank you! I am hoping that when I make one out of 2 darks, she will see the difference from the dark and medium. If not, I'll just use the darks sparingly or talk to her.

Either way, I'm anxious to start it. It should be fun!

After all the color and pattern changes that have been made, about $1 million ought to be about right for you to charge to make it!

Well, If she isn't just a bit wishy-washy :lol: I know that no matter what she gives you, you will make it look awesome!! Maybe she is just testing you to see how great you really are... we all know how great you are here though and know that you could pull anything off. Of course we would like to watch while you make the quilt and all be fascinated and awwed at the same time. Just watching your progress makes me want to sew even more.

Marilyn, You are So patient! I certainly hope she doesn't change her mind again half way into it. I am anxious to see how it turns out.

That's why I do my own thing! I'd probably just have given it all back to her after the 3rd time, and said when she had it figured out, maybe then we'd talk price! What a patient SIL you are! Personally, I'd love to see pictures of each step you take. Can't wait to see pictures! Thanks for the laugh!

Oh dear, you're very brave! I think I'd be making plans to sneak out of the area. That's a very expensive quilt you've got going there and by the mention of $50 extra I'd guess she's in the great (for her) position of being seriously undercharged. Good luck and I'm sure the results will be spectacular, even with the blue rubber LOL!

Danmar, you have the patience of Job!! I would have thrown in the towel long before the 3rd color change. Does she realize what a saint you have been with all of this??!!LOL.

Please do keep us posted. I would love to see the blocks as you go along. I followed your swish quilt every post and ordered the pattern. Happy Sewing!
