I can & have made a large lap-sized top in a day (using "Yellow Brick Road" for example). It's not my usual way of working (I like to dawdle & think as I go, enjoying the process) but sometimes I either need to have one done soon (for a charity quilt for example) or I just feel like having a feeling of accomplishment. The Eleanor Burns Log Cabin I made took waaaaay longer than a day, tho. Just my 2 cents worth...
