While the price of the actual quilting is reasonable, you have to add in the cost of shipping both ways. There is no choice of pattern either....you get what you see. You also have to send backing and batting. The LA quilter has 100% good feedback, so it seems previous customers are satisfied. I would never ship a quilt out to be quilted....too many get lost in transit. I would much rather drive a bit to hand deliver....and there is a list on the board of LA quilters, so you might find one very close to you!
