You should contact Green Fairy from this board. She does absolutely exquisite LA work and is located in Utah. However, I know she was expecting a baby and can't remember the due date but I think it is close. So she may not be up to quilting right now. We have loads of great LA quilters on the board here that will do custom work. Heck, I would offer to do it for you but I am only just beginning so am not confident to do someone else's quilt just yet.
By the sounds of it, both LA you contacted sound like they only do pantos.
PS, your top is really cute and I agree an E2E panto would not do this quilt justice. It really needs some nice echo quilting or custom work done to compliment the applique.
