I could only finish one queen size quilt every 3 to 4 years when I handquilted. I once kept track of one of my quilts and quit keeping track after 275 hours of quilting (and it still wasn't done!). I didn't track the amount of time it took me to piece it, baste it or mark it. Not near as long I am sure. I have way too many quilts I want to make in my lifetime so that is why I made the switch from hand to longarm quilting.
