I'm happy to hear there are other slow pokes like me. I am a fairly new to quilting, have not made all these different cuts that others can do. I have tried half squares.
I am making queen,king quilts. I've gotten better at cutting squares.
I tie, as I have not done machine quilting, nor do I have a machine that would be able to take on a quilt that big. I have a regular ordinary sewing machine, no fancy gizmos.
I don't even have the ability to move my needle.
Takes me about 4-6 months to complete a queen/king size quilt. I thought I was taking too long by the comparison of others, who seem able to zip through quilts.
Call me a slow poke, I enjoy what I am able to create. I suppose one day, I will be more speedy and better with my quilts, but, for now, I am ok, and those I give them to are happy, if I take 8 hrs or 4 mths.
Don't worry about being slow, just enjoy what your doing
