As Annie68 says, it's the process. I've done reasonably sized baby quilts in less than a week - and not working on it all day/every day either. By the same token, I'm working on a lap quilt now and just can't seem to concentrate long enough to get much done on it. I've hand quilted queen size quilts that, depending on how heavily quilted, take from as little as 2-3 months to almost a year. Just depends. I like having something to do with my hands in the evenings while watching TV. I can machine piece daytime or other periods when DH is not home and hand quilt while we're spending time together.
