My quilts are done by a Lady that I have become good friends with. She has, what she calls, a "short arm" and can only do about 7 different edge to edge designs. My last king size quilt was done in a "wishbone" edge to edge pattern and she also sewed my binding on to the front for me (I hand sew to the back). My cost was $55. She does beautiful work and I loved the way it looked when it was finished...she will continue to do my quilts!! (She has done many already) If I want to continue to quilt I can't afford to $200-$300 per quilt. Her husband also does some of them and you can't tell the difference between his work and hers!! My shoulder and back won't allow me to handle the bulk of those big quilts to even sew the binding on the front. She has a ton of work, people send from all over, and loves what she does...she says it's their pocket/traveling money. I have yet to be disappointed in any she's done!! I want me piecing to be the focal point, not a lot of feathers, etc. I also don't like my quilts too densely quilted.
