It brings me so much pleasure, I don't even consider the cost.

I agree here - I should, I know make it make a difference to me, since I'm on a limited budget - but the love of quilting and the satisfaction I get from doing it - and the gift of giving to someone who'd never make one for themselves, seems to make up for all the cost going into one. I'd rank most my quilts at about $250 for a queen sized when finished; but now my lady who does my quilting is retiring from the big ones, so I'm looking almost at the price of the entire quilt to have my quilts machine quilted by a lady who has a computerized quilting machine - ohhhhhhh, the work she turns out - it is well worth the price of it - believe me... and each is more beautiful than the previous one - if that is possible!
