I made 23 quilt tops... but while all of them were quilted, only 9 have the binding on them. They varied in size from lap - to king - taking about 3 -10 days (depending on the size and complexity) from planning/design -cutting - piecing, and then can generally expect them back from our quilter in about a week. But ... then that binding could take me years .. and I actually like hand-turning the binding, but find myself falling asleep on the couch before 9 ... more nights than not ...
