Just made the commitment this year to go back to quilting. Not that I've done many quilts. It did take me 9 months from start to finish on a Grandmothers Garden Quilt, all done by hand, but I was having so much fun with it. I used many of her cotton dresses, some of my mothers, and also found my High School Sweetheart dress my mom had made. ( And I'm 55- so you know how old that was). Well I only QID but I finished it. Now I'm HQ one that for the first time I'm using stenciled patterns, and I'm wondering why I'm going on the 3rd month quilting. As stated by others it's either "HAS" to done by a deadline, or it's just, well, relaxing to do and no big rush.
