I have only been sewing for about 5 or so years. By no means do I consider myself an expert at sewing but I would say I would be at the intermediate level. I have mostly made quilts and such for gifts for family and friends over the years but I have never been paid to actually make a quilt for someone else.
A few days ago I made this post about Max's Thomas blanket that I more or less threw together, or at least that is how I felt (it was really easy) and I got comment asking how much I would charge for 2 twin sized blankets. I had no idea what to charge, no one has ever asked me?! I did a little research and made a few phone calls and came up with a price.
That evening off I went to the fabric store to get the fabric that was chosen for this woman's (Kelly) two girls. Kelly chose flannel cotton. I have never sewn with flannel but after doing some more research that is the recommended fabric to use for a rag quilt. Who knew? I always just used cotton and fleece for the backing. I still plan on using fleece for the backing as it is soft and heavy enough. I think these are going to be my best ones yet. Let the cutting begin. I hope to have these done in a week or so and I will post pictures when I'm done (I already got Kelly's permission to do so).
Super Excited!! Thanks again Kelly!!!
