EasyPeezy I love your avitar. Do you know where I could find the pattern?

Thank you.

The quilt takes as long as it needs to be done. Working is hard, family and other obligations get in the way. Enjoy the process. Now that i don't work, the process is even more enjoyable. Just have fun with it. NO quilt police are on duty.

I also only have evenings and weekends to work on quilts. I made a full size one that I hand quilted, and it took me 9 months! And I don't have little children that need lots of time!

I am very fortunate that we have a huge basement where I have tables set up for everything from cutting area, pressing, a table for serger, Bernina, Janome and Grandma's old Viking. Have a laying out table, two computers and then also several tables for friends that come to sew too. A TV with remote control, phone with intercom. I just need to bring down a fridge and microwave for it to be my girl cave.

I tend to be goal/task orientented. I was born two month early weighing in at 3 lbs 11 ozs 60 years ago and have always been in a hurry.

Finished my first wall hanging last night. It is like the Valentine's day wall hanging from Missouri star Quilt company. Hand sewed the binding and everything. Learned to do that on their tutorial as well. Loved the hand sewing part but cannot see myself hand quilting. Too slow for me.

Thank you all for your comments.

I guess I take about 3 months, give or take to finish a quilt. But I also have to clarify that I don't do bed size quilts, but lap size, 60x80 inches. My family and friends get more use out of the lap size, since we live in such a cold winter area. I also try not to have more than 2 going at any one time. It keeps me focused. But, of course, my housecleaning gets a little behind, but my girls always say that the dust will always be there, but the quilts are a treasure to have. So I make quilts.

Anything from a week, including marking and cutting the fabrics (and making freezer paper templates, if I'm doing complex piecing) to a few months. I hand sew everything. I don't work, but on the other hand I have severe ME/CFIDS so I can't sew for as long as I'd like and sometimes I have to take the odd month off. The quilt in the icon is a metre square (full photo at http://img837.imageshack.us/i/isisquiltfinalphoto1.jpg/), and if we take off the two months I lost due to RSI and tendinitis, I worked on that for four months, including designing, piecing, appliqué, embroidery, quilting and beading.

Oh that depends on lots of things, pattern, daughters schedule, my schedule, time of year, the list goes on and on. I love the whole process tho so I'm good no matter how long it takes, quick or long its all good.

I work full time as well and depending on the pattern it usually takes me about a month to complete a queen size quilt start to finish. Baby quilts I can do over a weekend or a week if we do a lot of errands.
