I have so many health issues that I've been spending weeks in the hospital at a time...it takes me at least 2 hours to make a block, on the machine! It takes about a year to make a whole quilt, if I push myself. Some days I'm allowed in my sewing room only 30 minutes. Other days, I can happily spend the day and get more done. I hand quilt and I am quite slow at it. I love making quilts and think any day I can quilt is a good day! Enjoying the process, that's what counts for me.
