Also, if your quilt shop does any special programs, see if you can quilt the quilt (wow, sounded redundant). We have strippers club where each month they make a quilt with 2.5" strips. Then we go in, there's a floor show, and they show how to do the quilt. They always have it professionally quilted and say who did. I know if I was going to pay to get something quilted, the 2 names that come to mind are the 2 gals who usually do the strippers quilts since I hear one of their names every month. Great publicity there
