I read other ladies saying they have enough to last years...gosh I think I have enough fabric to last MAYBE 3 months if I stretch it. I cant imagine paying to have it quilted on top of that. What are you guys going to do? Pile up or learn to hand quilt?
Give hand quilting a go. I started out this way and love it. My hubby tolerates my hobby but if I would pay to have them quilted I don't think he would be so tolerable anymore.
I am willing to share with you some tips to get you started. PM me with any questions.
