The gal that does my quilting tells me 4 -6 weeks although that last one I gave her, she has had for almost 8 weeks which isn't a big problem for me but it's getting to be awhile. I think where I go wrong is that I always tell her - no rush, I don't need it back by a certain date and I have a feeling that mine keeps on getting pushed to the bottom of the pile! Maybe I am wrong but nevertheless, I don't think I will make that comment again when I give her a quilt to quilt for me....
