I paid about $250 for a custom quilted king size a few years ago. She chwool batting, which I wanted. At the time, I thought it was pretty expensive, but after reading these posts, I think I got a reasonably good deal. Since then, I found a lady in my area who does pantogram (or is it called pantograph?) quilting & charges me only about $75 for a queen size. She furnishes polyester batting and the thread. I also know of an older man who has a Gammil long arm machine who charges even less. People send him their quilts from all over the country. I only use him for utility quilts, though. The lady I mentioned above does a much nicer job.
