Nothing went to waste back then. I do not remember her ever having a waste basket in the house. Everything had a use and feed sacks were used for clothing. I wish I had some of those now for a quilt.

You didn't say what size quilt she want's you to make.
Also do you really want to do this project? Don't do something you may recent. You may have other thing's you are setting aside for this large project. And really be sorry and find yourself under pressure.

Does this person work outside her home? Do you have any idea how much she makes per hour?
Make sure you discuss WHY this would cost this much with the person.
When people see ads for "any size quilt for $39 or $49 or $59 dollars" - that's the price many of them have in mind - and if they supply the fabrics - hey - you should pay THEM for the privilege of working with them.

Do you value her friendship? If so, offer to have her work on the quilt with you. That way, she can see the process as you go and more importantly, why you set the price you did. Most people don't have a clue about making a quilt - they think you put the fabrc together then sew it. Sounds really simple until you actualy start doing it.
So, a work day - with her - sounds in order. I'd hate for you to loose a good friend if she didn't like it, but if she's taken part, she might enjoy quilting!! Then, you'd be her teacher and have the pride that comes with sharing your knowledge!! :)
