I wouldn't be concerned about 'how long' it takes you to finish, in fact, you don't HAVE to finish, if you find another project you want to start. I have half a dozen tops going back to 1998 not long after I got serious about quilting, they'll get done when the time is right. On the other hand, I finished other quilts in a couple weeks (tied), pieced and quilted 12 quilts the first year I started quilting. Hand quilted 1 twinsize sampler the week I sat in the hospital with my daughter...I started a whole cloth by hand in 2003,did 1/4th of it, then in 2007 I decided I chose the wrong type of fabric( poly blend.... I know..) I used it as a backing all 3 layers; on a scrap top that I thought was UGLY after I finished it, so the whole mess got tied, and lives in a duvet cover... The point is quilts get finished when they get finished, don't allow other people's progress be your measurement. Your pace is perfect.
