The longest one (queen size) took me 2 yrs. I lost interest and quit working on it for a while.
The quickest I've made took a month.

It really depends. Anywhere from 3 or 4 days to a month. I do all my bindings by machine, so that speeds things up.

I hand quilted a full sized top that someone asked me to in about a month. But I had one on my quilting frame for several years once because I got sick of working on it. If I had ppl like the ones on here I would have known to go on to other projects instead of trying to force myself to work on that one.

I had three weeks off and did the first one in a month (just the top). The second one took about three weeks to piece (I hate piecing) and two hours to applique. Then back to piecing +sigh+.

I think a twin quilt was my record, pieced from 3" squares with a border, quilted by machine, bound by machine. Took 3 days. A log cabin can be pieced in two days, my broken dishes took 3 months.

A queen size now ( I'm retired) takes me about 1 year from start to finish as I hand quilt it . It took me about 2 years before when I was working because I didn't have the time to work on my projects.

Applique --- Love your quilts.

There are so many things to take in consideration of making a quilt. It depends on the time you have to dedicate. I have a day job so I don't have all day to quilt. I like patterns I can finish in 4-5 days, that includes picking out fabric, cutting, piecing, quilting and binding. I get bored quickly so I don't enjoy doing long projects.
