The first quilt I sent out took 4 months, but the person I took it to is a very popular long arm quilter. I did not know that. She also has a penchant for not saying "no" to any one and then taking on to many commitments. I asked for a simple edge to edge and even after a nudge letting her know it was for a gift it was another 6 weeks. Never went back to her. Excellent work but 4 months was just too long for me to wait.
The gal who does some of my quilts now is usually a two week turn around. She will let me know if she had one ahead of me or 8 ahead and I can then make a decision that fits my desires.
Two months is a long time. I would ask for an approximate date for completion and see if you can "live with that" date.
