DEPENDS, some quilts are a snap (cutting & piecing) other have a zillion pieces to cut, which means zillions to piece.
Sometimes I am in the mood to do hand work, or maybe let it go for months.

Quilting is a hobby, I work on it at my pace, mood and desire. It is not a race (except when we realize we need to finish asap for that special occasions). Some quilts inspire me to finish because it is beautiful and I am enjoying the process others (unfortunately) might become a UFO.

So it is hard to put a percentage up.... but I can say I'm ALWAYS drooling! :)

i know i'm completing my longest ever quilt - a king-size quilt w/ over 4000 pieces. I'm handquilting it, and have been working on it for 18 months. The end is in site. I'll be giving it to the own the end of june.

I AGREE !!! Ditto, Ditto, Ditto !!! dunster got it right again ;)

Most of my time is spent picking fabrics and making mock up blocks to see if I like where a pattern is taking me.

Once I decide, Cutting and piecing is a smaller amount of time. Cutting a whole quilt is impossible for me. I cut as I go in case I mis cut something. I would hate to ruin a whole quilt worth of material

I have more quilt tops than finished ones. I find I am a piecer more than a quilter. Wish I could find some one to do the quilting for me:D I could keep someone busy for a long time quilting my flimsies!
peace

Another procrastinator here, which usually kicks in at the "how am I going to quilt this?" stage!

Don't we get to count shopping? Online and shop-hopping! I love this part!

in a multiple choice answer usually there is a "all of the above" and that would be my answer loll

Oh yeah.....time spent between #3 and #4 can often be even years for me! :p :D
