The time it takes me to quilt depends on many issues such as how densely I quilt and how complicated the pattern is that I am quilting also how much stress my shoulders and hands can stand on a particular day. . I'm currently working on a scrappy coin quilt, pretty big. I am ditching the coins and doing a bamboo stalk in each of the plain columns between the coins. I'd say it is going to take me about 15 hours total but that is working maybe 3-4 hours on any day.
