it's difficult to tell from the photo whether or not you got your money's worth. i see reasons to think you might have and reasons to think you didn't.
either way, i totally sympathize with the "sticker shock". that's why i'll never pay to have my quilting done for me. just couldn't afford it. and if i could, i still wouldn't be willing to fork over that kind of cash. LOL
i'm happy for the professional quilters, though, that there are lots of quilters who feel differently than i do. how wonderful to be able to make a living doing something you love. and to be able to get somebody else to do the parts you can't or don't enjoy. a win, win if ever i saw one. :P
