I am NOT in a competition either: but I can still do AT LEAST one quilt a week and some weeks even more than that. I piece by machine, LA, add the label (again by machine) and add and stitch the binding by machine. And I also do small quilts for a pup lifeline organization here, giving them at least 25 quilts a couple of times a year. I do NOT do fancy very often; if I do, and you ordered it, you will pay for it. My quilts are made to be loved and used, and I don't have a lot of heartbreak when I see the kids using them for outdoor tents, etc. I also do customer quilts in the middle of all of this...
So it's possible to do at least 50 quilts in a year, if you're not doing the one-of-a-kind ones but rather just trying to help the world a bit. And no, I don't have household help...I live by myself and can do whatever I please. Maybe that enters into my productivity in that it pleases me to quilt!
