I also quilt on a LA, mostly custom with lots of ruler work. Some quilts just take a longgg time! I can remember doing a large lap quilt (Grinch) for my son and family when I first started quilting on my DSM and thinking it would never get done--was only stippling between the picture blocks and would get so bored that I was falling asleep (the early morning hours on this might have had something to do with it too) so I decided to stitch in their names and the year--realized a year later I had done it upside down!
