i really wouldn't worry about how long a quilt takes, life has a way of taking us back to our projects/UFO's. I started the flannel quilt I am working on now 6 1/2 yrs ago. Family, money, jobs, all take time and you get distracted. I have made a lot of other quilt projects and other craft things in that 6 1/2yrs, now is my time to finish this one. You will get to it in your own time and in the meantime will create other beautiful things and build your stash.
