I agree with you, I figure it's my quilt so I only have to please myself. Of course if I'm making a quilt to give away, I'll try to pick colors that...
Ive never done a quilt for money but from my reading here & other places I'd say you should charge by the hour. Since you aren't providing materials...
I learned to quilt from my Grandma at a very young age... God rest her soul! I miss her dearly, I wish so badly that I could show her the things that I make... I know she would be so proud of me. She was a funny, creative, and loving person. I quilt for the Love of Dortha... I hope that I can pass her along to others through myself.
I have been married to a wonderful man from Bulgaria for almost 5 years now. We live right on Lake Erie! I have a wonderful view of the lake from my sewing room... I Love to sit and listen to the waves, children laughing, and the birds.
