We're in the same boat! II'm almost done with a quilt top of similar size for our CA queen bed, and I have no idea how I'm going to quilt it. I thought about doing it in sections on my regular sewing machine but was told by my quilt shop that the only way to go is to send it out to a long arm. Hand quilting would take the rest of my life!

I know I made mistakes and it isn't perfect; however, I love it and can't wait to quilt it. Which does bring me to a dilemma. I just have a regular sewing machine. I have a feeling this is going to give me major gray hair!!
