I love good hand quilting. About a decade ago, I looked at the price of a yummy h.q. bed quilt (size???) in an Amish shop; the price was well over $1,000.00. I do some hand quilting, so I figure that price was not outrageous, but doubt that (in this current economy, especially) there are many people who can afford to pay that much money for a quilt. Nevertheless, I think you should do as thorough a research as possible.
