I have only kept track of one quilt that I hand quilted. It took me a month quilting 8 hours a day 6 days a week. Have never been able to do that again. I don't remember the reason to work so devotedly on it. I hate to have to put up a quilt for another priority because it is so hard to get back the enthusiasm I first had. Friend crocheted an afghan yrs ago and referred to it as her century afghan...it was taking a century to finish it. At quilt meeting a quilter said she knew a lady who hand quilts a quilt in three DAYS....sure wonder about her technique.
