Same here! I like to piece the tops but do not realty like to quilt them. Check around. Price of quilting has a lot to do with the detail of the actual quilting. Meaning something like meandering only cost much less then fancy stitching feathering. I personally like a simple meandering and SID to show my quilt pattern/fabric/piecing rather than a more detailed overall quilting. Check around for cheaper prices. There is a shop in NE Ohio that only charged about $80 for meandering on a large quilt. Good luck. Stay well!
