While I was there I had a very recommended quilter do my quilt. She said she could do it and quoted me a price. She had some problems and called to say she couldnot do it all. So center is done and 2 of the 4 sides. my problem is I have never even tried to quilt, let alone try to make leaf patterns, free handed. Also the flying geese need something. I dont know whether to sew them down or not. I cannot afford to pay someone to quilt, the lady ended up charging $50.00 more,
so any suggestions on how to finish this will be appreciated.
Thanks Lindav
Since the center is done (the hardest part) I would try and FMQ the two remaining side pieces. Look at it as an opportunity to practice FMQ without having to do the whole quilt.

She should have stuck to her price quote, or LESS since she didn't finish...
