I have a midarm on a frame, but I'm not an experienced quilter, maybe I will be by then. but I'm not sure when I will find time to get that experience. I'll cross that bridge later.
As for the backing and batting, I won't wait that long. The price will be considerably higher. I've seen the price of good fabric go up anywhere from 1/3 to 1/2 and even more depending on the saler. I can't buy anything in Jan but I will start looking for a good deal on a backing fabric. Does anyone know what batting they will be using. I feel that this is going to be a pretty heavy quilt top.
