I guess I'm bit of both. Sometimes I make one after another-usually baby quilts. It's stress relief for me, not that I'm trying to race. I just made a top in a matter of hours, I had the time, really wasn't trying to hurry.I will machine quilt it this weekend. Other times it will take me weeks to do the same top because I only get a few minutes here and there. It's also taken me a year or more to make a quilt-one that I hand quilt.
