You are very inspiring to see all of the beautiful things you create with fabric.
I love quilting but just have not found a balance of time to quilt. My husband is in full time ministry and he teaches the bible study I take on Thursday evenings, I have approx 45 min of homeowrk a night with the and I work a full time job. It is hard to get everything in and still find time to quilt.
Well...I am just learning how to long arm....but I have only done a few queens....and it just depends on how intricate the design is....but as far as peicing a quilt.....It doesn't take me long depending on how inspired I am to be working on it....or if there is a reason I am working on it...I understand about time....quilting relaxes me...so I do it in my downtime. After the kids go to bed.....in the mornings....I will study a bit in between...if I wokred full-time I coudl not get so much done....but three days a week I am home...and my kids are in school...so that is when I quilt ..usually. But I think you are doing what is right for you..my bible study time is also either at night or in the mornings.....but I also don't get alot of sleep...so that is probably another reason I get alot of things completed.
