Glad to know I’m in the majority here about the slow quilters. I tried once (out of curiosity) to track my time on a quilt. That didn’t include shopping for the fabric because I didn’t think about tracking till it was out of the dryer and I was ironing it!
The closest estimate I could get from logging my time (ironing, cutting, piecing, ripping, redoing, playing with a layout and taking pictures of each as I went, then sandwiching and binding, was 40 hours on a quilt approximately 50x62.
Some projects could be whipped up in a weekend if all I had to do was sew, and if my personality was one-thing-at-a- time from start to finish . I only do that when there’s a deadline such as a bday, shower, or holiday or a donation collection date that I don’t want to miss .
I hang out with my quilts like they’re friends. My friends aren’t high maintenance, they don’t clamor for attention, they are happy to pick up where we left off.
