I don't have the time or patience to hand quilt them. What other options do I have?

P.S. My husband picked out all the fabrics (pretty much by himself, including the borders and batik background for the butterfly runner). I think I have myself a fabric savant!

Summer runner (it's hard to see the gorgeous coordinating fabrics he chose on the pieced border).
