Don't feel bad about taking a long time to finish a quilt. It takes me a long time, even though I have to do everything on the sewing machine. You see, I have MS and arthritis. Both have affected my hands. It takes me a long time even on the sewing machine because just as I get everything lined up my hands start shaking, and my pieces usually wind up on the floor. I especially like to make string quilts and crumb quilts because there are fewer corners to match. I did complete a twin size crumb quilt set together in the"fun and done" method in about 3 months.
