I have a 6 foot table I set up to just quilt on....put my machine in the middle of the table....I tell myself it will take a week (called psyching yourself out) then it is a contest of how long it is actually going to take. I usually trying to get up and walk around at least every hour.....go start a load of laundry, get something to drink, and then go back....some times it has taken me 10-12 hours depending on my mood....other times 3-4 hours....other times 1-2 hours....It will also depend on the mood of your machine at the time, as sometimes "SHE" just does not want to quilt in any shape or form, and other times she can not go fast enough or smooth enough........
