    I also think she may have just forgotten, with a wedding coming up, a quilt to be made, etc.
    I'd give her a call though. She needs to give you some money.

    My thoughts are also that even if she thought it was a gift from you (due to a misunderstanding) she still should have been in contact with you. Maybe as the others have said the wedding has taken a lot of her time. Life has a habit of catching up with us.

    I would just give her a call and ask how the quit is going. I also wouldn't say anything about the money just in case she did innocently forget about calling you or even lost your number on accident. it happens. If the money is not a big deal then I would let it lay. ANd who know she just might surprise you with saying that she had forgotten and was wanting to get it to you. hope this will give you piece of mind. HUGS!!!

    I would just forget. She knows the fabric was yours and she also knows what ya'll talked about. Unless you really need the money for the fabric, just consider it a blessing that you were able to help her out.

    There is a bunch of optimistic people on this board! When it comes to fellow human beings and their actions I am very pessimistic. I say call her and ask her what the issue is! Maybe she did lose your number, but maybe she also wanted something for nothing!

    I too hate when people say one thing and do another. Maybe call her and ask her if she has any plaid flannel, because your making a quilt and could use some! lol See I am mean.

    I would call her. She needs to be made accountable for her actions.

    You said that she would call after she had gotten home and measured how much she needed and discuss price..So she knew it wasn't free.

    I think she has probably just forgotten .
    You could ring and say something like "I was just looking for my plaid material and realized that you had taken it home did you use it all etc

    I don't like confrontation either but then I would feel terrible if it was me and I had forgotten to ring you.

    I agree that she may have just gotten busy or lost your phone number. I would at least call and ask how preparation for the wedding is going and if she has finished the quilt. You might say that you would like to have any of the material she didn't use back and that you are ready to establish the price for what she did use. You didn't get the fabric for free, did you?

    I think overal quilters are a bunch of very generous and nice people. I do think you are probably more realistic and that sometimes some of us end up being taken advantage of because we are nice. Thank you for bringing a different perspective.

    I think I would call. Getting ready for a wedding can be chaotic. She may have forgotten, she may have lost your phone number, could be lots of things. I would mention she said she would call so you could set a price, but I probably wouldn't push it if she claimed she thought it was a gift. Then I would just chalk it up to lesson learned.
