I feel your pain. It's not my favorite part either. Sometimes I really debate about getting it done by check. But then the pride of doing it myself kicks in and I get to quilting. There are friends who love the quilting part. It would be nice to have a dedicated quilter machine off to the side but, I have heard it just builds up stuff also. So for now, it's get about 8-10 tops, then clear off the table and get to quilting. Not so bad once I get started. Kind of fun right in the middle, then Yeah! They are done.
