My very first complete quilt was an Eleanor Burns Quilt in a Day log cabin, king size that I made 30 years ago. Instead of cutting the strips, they were torn. I would NEVER do that again. I remember all those threads and the mess. I think that a simple quilt top CAN be made in a day without any interruptions. HAH, it would never happen here. Interesting because while I was cleaning out the storage unit this weekend, I came across the instruction book for that quilt.
