The Dallas/Ft. Worth area is THE greatest place to be for beginning quilters, with a wealth of quilt stores, shows, long-arm quilters, research libraries, guilds, and so on. Find your closest quilt shops and visit them to ask for names of people that can help you locate quilters for finishing this quilt top. They will be able to give you specific instructions on what to do. What an adventure you have ahead of you!
