I think it depends on the quilter and her workload. There are times I can turn one around in 4 weeks, but other times it's 6 or 8 weeks (sometimes even longer, but not very often). Did you discuss a time frame when you sent the quilt? I don't think you'd be out of line to send a simple query to the quilter asking for the approximate date of completion, but I don't think 8 weeks is out of line if this is a quilter in high demand.
