It depends on the size. Because it's such a pain to put my "quilting" table down, I like to have at least 4 quilts ready to quilt before I put the table down. Most of mine take a day and that's FM and not straight line, to me, it takes longer to do the straight line than it does the FM. My FMQ is just meandering and not feathers, swirls, etc., which is way beyond my capabilities.
