Before being laid off I worked 40+ hours and almost 2 hours commute (sometimes more), I did alot of cutting out on weekends, sewed simple like log cabins, added a strip to about 24 blocks (chain pieced) before and after work.
I have to admit my Husband is super, he cooks almost all the meals, does the laundry, and shopping. It allows me the time to sew/quilt.
I would iron my prewashed fabric before work. :-)
