have you ever thought of just tying the larger quilts? most of my queen size quilts i have always tied. i don't want to spend the extra money or depersonalize my quilt by having someone else machine quilt it when i give it as a gift. my boyfriend has told me he likes the look of tied quilts and it makes him remember his childhood so it's a heartwarming memory for him to see and use a handmade quilt that has been tied with yarn.
