Is Eleanor Burns really saying you can make a quilt in a day or is that just a figure of speech?
I attended an Eleanor Burns Quilt in a Day seminar about 3 years ago and, yes, you can make a quilt in a day. And I was working with only one eye. I had cataract surgey 4 days before the seminar. When I signed up and paid for the seminar 3 months earlier, I didn't know that I was going to have the surgery---I don't recommend doing it this way. It is much easier with both eyes! LOL
