I do LAQ myself and I keep a list by the phone so I always know within a week to 10 days just when I can get your quilt in and done. Baring any break downs or family problems. But I stay in touch if it looks like I'll be longer then 10 days getting to your quilt when it comes up on the list. I also don't take a quilt until a week to 10 days before your up on the list, this way I don't have your quilt but a week or so after it is delivered.
