That is a great idea and since I live in Hawaii she probablly can get everthing much cheaper and send it to me that way she will pick out the fabric and all I have to do is cut, iron and sew lol, Mahalo for the info.

We all have varying amounts of time that it takes us to piece, and quilt. If it were me, I would chg a flat fee for actually putting it together base on the difficulty of the blocks. Take your friend with you, and let her purchase the sashing, backing and stabilizer. You won't have a lot of piecing, and she is furnishing the t-shirts, so that should drop the price some. Just a few suggestions.
