It is very possible, especially if your friend has help. I have a nurse friend who quilts about 30 quilts a month for a slew of charities - the hospital, QOV, Linus, veterans, etc. She has 2 longarms - one is computer driven, the other is FMQ, so she often is quilting 2 quilts at the same time. She does some piecing, but she also gets a lot of donated tops that she quilts.
