Well, it takes me about 3 yrs to completely finish a quilt - these are queen size and hand quilted. this one I am working on now took me almost a year just to plan it - I make up the pattern and this one is a batik with cats machine embroidered in the center of the blocks. Hope it turns out ok. No health problems - thank the Lord - just a busy bee with other sewiing projects for birthday gifts ect. Time is of no essecense to make a masterpiece. Just lots of love. Good luck with yoru quilt - it will be beautiful!
