I don't know about the pattern.
Eleanor Burns' sister comes to our guild as a speaker...one year she told us she did make a quilt in a day, but that it took her 21 hours of straight sewing. She said that was a "few" years back :wink: and that she wouldn't try it again.
The Quilt in a Day came from Eleanor's original way to do log cabin blocks by chain sewing them. You can make a lot of blocks very fast and do a quilt very quickly...although not sure if it would be in a day!!
