I know there's a lot of variables, but just wondering.

Thanks ladies for all of your input, and pictures. It's really been eye-opening. :shock:

:shock: Wow, around here you will pay that for a lap quilt or something with very, very, very basic quilting in it. For a decent queen sized quilt, you could pay anywhere from $200-$800 on the quilting, depending on what type of quilting and how much of it you want. It's the main reason why I do all of my own quilting.

HOLY NELLIE!! If I had to pay that much to have something quilted, all of my quilts would be tied! The lady that does my quilting charges about $125 for a queen sized quilt.
