Good for you!! As for price to have them quilted depends on the area you live. In my area you measure the length and the width mulitply those 2 numbers, that will give you how many squares inches the quilt has. Then in my area most of them charge 1 cent a square inch for a very simple design....and on up to 1 1/2 and 2 cents. Also if you want heavier more dense quilting they charge more.
But like another person mentiond for another type of quilt you could do a fun and done. That way when your done your done...lol it's quilted as you are making it.
Don't forget we like picturs :D

Is wickedly easy the name of your pattern?
If so, I made that same pattern and quilted it myself on my little ol' sewing machine.
I started by sewing from corner to corner diagonally, then paralleled those lines to make a chevron-type pattern in all four sections created by the first sewing lines. It actually turned out pretty good, and straight lines are easy to do :D
Come on, you've already been brave once....step out again and go for broke!

But I got everything cut out, the strips put together, pressed, and then cut again. This evening I just have to piece them together.
So when it says Wickedly Easy...it MEANS it!
Also anyone know the price to have a Queen Size quilt machine quilted? I just want a ball park figure for reference. I plan on making quilts for family members, and depending on how much it would be to hire someone as opposed to me trying and failing....I can do a straight line...but idk...it makes me nervous! :)
