yes twice - I guess I'm crazy :) the first time hand piecing it took me 490 hours to do and over 3 years.
this second time about 383 hours and 2 years and 8 months. That is normal for a dear jane though, I have heard of some that put it aside for months and years and one that I heard (the longest) took 10 years to complete it.
