Me make a quilt in a day??? (Sorry, Eleanor...LOL). I get distracted too easily so I choose patterns that are quick and easy peasy! Instant gratification :)
I actually don't have any trouble piecing a quilt together in a relatively short time...it's the quilting part that I hate!! Case in point...I'm making a Christmas table runner for myself and I've had it put together for a few days but I'm dragging my feet on quilting it!! I don't want to send it out to be quilted because it's such a small piece and I don't want to pay someone else to quilt it. So....I've walked away from it for now and I'll tackle it when the "mood" strikes me.
The point is...we all walk away when we need to. No shame in that :)
