Have them quilted. Look around in small towns around where you live. Quilting services seem to be less expensive in small towns where people are on fixed incomes. I bring mine to a small town about 2 hours away where my brother lives. I pay around $28.00 for a lap quilt and for the same service, here in the city it would run at least $100. Well worth the drive, even with gas prices. I just make sure I bring more than one at a time to her. I appreciate my quilter and she appreciates my business.
