LOL - Quilt in a Day...this was my first experience in teaching myself how to quilt. I was a sewer, but not a quilter. I had to read the book 3 times before it clicked on how to do the strip piecing - I was doing the log cabin pattern. Then the first one I made was queen sized and it took me 3 weeks. In the front of the book it talked about workshops that started at 7 am and finished at 7 pm - with time for a sack lunch somewhere along the way. After reading that I didn't feel so bad about the 3 weeks as I had 3 grade school aged children at home - drive them here/there & everywhere; cook, laundry, etc. - I think 3 weeks was quite quick.
