sewnsewer2 - IF you can afford to - I would finish the quilt (keep stalling on how much you will charge!) and the surprise her by GIVING it to her. If you can't afford to replace the $$ you spent on fabric - I would just charge her for materials and your time would be the GIFT part. IF you need the money for income - figure out time and materials and ask her what she thinks it is worth. work WITH her so you are both happy with the end $$. Cause you sure don't want to lose a DEAR friend over a silly thing like $$$.... Just my opinion

Absolutely beautiful, I have no idea on the selling price, I give mine away, to family, friends and people I think need a quilt.

I have made a few lap quilts for her for other people which she paid for everything and I did the work for free.

I just LOVE to make things for other people out of the goodness of my heart, because it makes me feel good.

Which reminds me... I'd better get started on the quilting! :lol:

I think what you said sounds good - let her name the price since you both will be happy with that outcome. I hope she'll cherish it for many years to come! It's a tough spot to be in so hopefully this will be a good compromise. Money and friends/family just don't mix well.

Beautiful quilt and as far as pricing, I can't say cause I am too tender hearted when it comes too dear friends and dear family members. I would probably not charge anything because that is just the way I am. But most of the time they will offer something and insist that I take it even if it is just a flower bulb I have too share. A lot of work goes into all of yall's quilts and money too!

This is a beautiful quilt and if it were mine, I would find it hard to part with it especially after it's been quilted. These quilts when hand quilted sell for thousands of dollars. I would not sell this lovely quilt. I'd want to keep it. But that's just me.
