KellyPa. I agree with Raptureready, If i'm going to put the time into a quilt I want it to be a size most anyone can use now and later. I have recently finished two stack and whack quilts for our daughters and now have two with my "LONG ARM LADY" It can be costly but I ask her to do a basic quilt stitch which cuts the price a bit. Good Luck. Perhaps you could barter with a long arm quilter. Regards peterparley

I have a friend who does this and has become an expert at it. She can't afford to buy the long arm, but she goes to the shop and uses (rents) theirs and is quite happy doing that.
Her quilts are beautifully quilted, and the ladies at the shop help her with the machine if she runs into a problem. It's the best of both worlds if you want to make a really large quilt.

I quilt smaller sizes because I have so many I want to make:)
