Gee, I hadn't even thought about quilting in those terms. I am just so thrilled when I get a chunk of time to work on any of my projects. It is fun and I don't think about speed but I do think about doing things "right" because I want to be satisfied with the finished project. Although, I have to admit when everything is cut and ready to sew I get real excited. Putting the pieces together and seeing the design unfold is exciting for me!That is probably when I'm the fastest......LOL
