I did a dresden plate quilt and had it professionally quilted and was charged $138.00 and her quilting MADE the quilt! She stippled it around the Dresden Plates and put a rose in the center of each of the circles in the plate. The stippling with the rose in the center made the plates "jump out" of the quilt. It's gorgeous and well worth the cost of having it quilted. The long arm quilter asked me what kind of quilting I wanted done on it and I told her to do what SHE thought would look the best. She sure did!

I just love the feminine look of the embroidered blocks! So Springy looking! You did a wonderful job of the sashing and corner stones as well as the borders and binding. The colors are beautiful. I also like the dresden plate quilt. I like applique and the quilting is great! I do my quilts with hand quilting. Trying to learn machine cause there is no way I could even think of having someone else do it. I would have to sell my Hubby for the cost of it! :lol: (and I would miss him in a month or two anyway.) :twisted:

Beth,
Is it expensive to have some one quilt your quilts?
I haven't made anything too large that I cannot quilt myself by machine and I don't do very intricute stuff...
I think that I would be inspired to try more difficult quilts and larger quilts if I could afford the quilting/finishing of them...
Any advice...
Thanks,
Kirsten
