I've learned many, many techniques from Eleanor Burns. I don't think I've actually made any of her quilt patterns, but I've used her techniques and have made many quilt tops in a day. Of course, it's best if you don't have any interuptions, but it can be done. Also, this doesn't include quilting, but since most of my quilts are lap size I could probably do the quilting as well, but that would make an awefully long day and only basic quilting.
