You are right about having a quilt done at a LQS, and in addition, I like the ability to do the quilt when I want and to say, "I did it all!" 'Course, that's just me :wink: . I think that the LA quilters do absolutely stupendous work, it makes me drool, but I just want my family to be wrapped in my love and it doesn't have to be perfect to do that :)

Thank you so much for the info.
