Remember it's not a race :-) When I first started (and even now sometimes) I get so focused on finishing that I couldn't stop and I obsessed over completing my projects - my first quilts took forever and I lost lots of sleep staying awake at night cutting & piecing.... I think you might get faster as you learn. I did and still am learning!

So of course I decided to make potholders and placemats for my barn customers.
ONE potholder took me 4 flipping hours to make. I feel like I've run a marathon or something. I'm exhausted.
Ya'll folks who put together a whole quilt top in a day freak me out!
