I guess I am a lucky one my oldest sister has a long arm and does all mine for nothing so i dont have that to figure into the price of my quilts I made 4 quilts for a friend at christmas who didnt have much money to spend i made them out of my scraps and some very cheap fabrics i had gotten from wal-mart when they closed out their fabrics so i didnt have 100.00 in all 4 quilts
