Your quilt is beautiful! :D:D:D
First I want to say kudos to the LA's you contacted. If they were not comfortable trying to quilt this beauty, it is awesome they said so up front :D I would rather be told "No" than have someone say yes and not do a very good job on it :wink:
I agree, it needs some creative thought and quilting around the embroidery so that it doesn't get lost in the quilting. I am sure you can find someone with the skills to do it justice :D:D:D
