If you enjoy the process rather than wanting to skip to the end right away you won't mind how long it takes to make something. You are not a factory, you are a quilter. Time spent at the sewing machine is not so much what you make but that the process is peace giving and enjoyable. If you were an avid bowler you would not mind the hours spent on the lanes practicing no matter how low your initial scores. The only difference is you have a quilt at the end. Become a process person, not an outcomes person. Quilting will then become your passion, no matter how long it takes to accomplish something.
