Hey if people own a boat or cabin or vacation home, barter a trade! At least as part of the deal! Just trying to think out f the box.

And what I meant was that the quilt buyer TREAT YOU to an all expense weekend or week on their boat. At their cabin whatever. Food and everything. Sandy

I agree with everyone's ideas and one thing I think people forget is how much thread you will use. I'm always amazed when I make a quilt at how many spools I go through. Don't forget to add that into your estimate. Thread isn't cheap either.
