Our LQS quilts a twin size for 40.00 does a wonderful job but I now do my own.

So another 6 - 8 yards for the back ($60 - $80 bucks) This is for a queen size top. Smaller top = less fabric = less expense. If you send it out to be quilted there can easily be another $100.00. So $300 + batting and thread. Not a cheap hobby but a labor of love
$100.00 for long arm quilting??? We pay much more around here. I think that is the REAL cost of making a quilt. Probably because I pull fabric from my stash.
