It's not easy to say, it depends of the patterns and how densely the quilt is quilted. I am marking the patterns "as you go"... that means I put the layers together first and than mark a few patterns. The next step is to quilt these patterns and than I go on with marking.
For some of my quilts I needed about 600 hours and I made one in 1000 hours. You see, it is very time consuming! :-)
Do you hand quilt or machine quilt yours. Either way they were fascinating :thumbup:
I have some patriotic fabric which has a "quilt pattern" on it. I was actually thinking about quilting as a whole piece.
