Yoy should be very honored!! And thankful - that she didnt expect you to supply fabric etc. and to get paid to do it is even better!!! Watch out though it could be a start of a new business for you lol Many who see the quilts may like the idea for their wedding parties also...If approached I would make a set amount and base it on what time etc you have invested in the ones you are doing now. Good luck and would love to se one thanks cheryl :-D

If I have time left she wants me to make a 8ft table runner for the main table.

Start with the table runner and don't stop 'till they are all done. This bride is a smart consumer and is willing to pay for it.
Good Luck and many sunny, sewing days to you. Is a time line of one quilt per month too fast? |
Wow - sounds like she appreciates what is involved in making a quilt and is willing to pay a fair price. Better get going. Christmas will be here before you know it. And don't forget to post pictures when you've finished.
