Two cents per inch is the going price at local quilt shops in my area. I've long-armed a couple of tops for other folks and have found those who are as picky as I am about pressing seams and those who are not. I spent two days pressing seams on one top to make them lie flat before I could actually quilt it, plus the borders were ruffled. I only quilted it as a favor to my neighbor as it was for her daughter. If I hadn't been fixing this top, I could have been piecing my own quilt.
