How on earth do you do that in only 45-60 minutes? It takes me several hours to do a crib quilt. I know I'm a slow worker and am very particular with my stitches - I try to make them very tiny, close together and invisible. The quilt will be washed a lot so I want to make sure the stitching is secure. It takes a long time but I love doing handwork so maybe I prolong the procedure a little, but I sure do wish I knew your secret!
