No, it's not a myth, if you are talking about making a quilt top. I pieced a card trick quilt from an Eleanor Burns book and starting with yardage, I cut and piece the top, including blocks and borders. And I took bathroom breaks and ate lunch and dinner, too. Of course, I was at a retreat, so didn't have to worry about cooking, cleaning, husband or kids.
Of course, now that I'm an empty nester, I don't have to stop for kids, and my DH never bothers me when I'm at my machine!

I don't know about the pattern.
