Little late in answering your question/comment about quilting - but I also was taken aback when I took in a twin-sized quilt to a local quilter. I didn't bother to ask assuming about $50. The total was about $96 (I provided the batting) - but, oh my - what a wonderful job. It was my first quilt to have professionally quilted so she had some "stuff" to work around. (I normally do the tie or stitch in the ditch format because I was just starting out and these first few quilts were definitely beginner quality) I asked other quilters and they stated that was normal pricing for this area. I will definitely use her services again - but will budget. Now I know why some of those quilts in the craft shops have $$$ on them.
