I am thrilled if I do 2 large quilts a year. I don't count baby quilts because they are usually spur of the moment--not planned. This last year I have actually pieced 4 tops for charity thru our Guild. But the cutting was all done for me and the pattern was super simple. That sure does speed things up. I also found that I was more inclined to try a more complicated pattern after making the charity tops. Win win in my book!
