Do you have a long arm Jaba? I just got my quilt back from the people that do my quilting from one of the booms, not sure which it was but was the Mauve blocks. They provide the batting, had it done in a week and I only paid $40 to have it quilted! I didn't have her bind this one because I want to try to bind one but if its too complicated Ill pay her the $20 to bind the next 5 I have to send her! Her husband runs the machine and I absolutely LOVE the work they do. I cant afford to buy a machine for what they charge! LOVE to see yours when its finished. So sorry about the back surgery...but what better way to recoup than to quilt!! LOL
