Call and ask around about someone quilting it for you. I found a lady two hours away that quilts for $26.00-$40.00 a quilt. Unbelievable price! She's in a small town with people with fixed incomes. I save up my tops and then bring several at once. We stop to visit family and friends on our way back.
