You're just beginning - hang in there.
The quantity of your quilting MAY increase - depending on how many hours a day you have to practice and put exclusively towards quilting!
Remember some quilters sew and quilt all day long.
I'm not one of them - and I'm okay with that. (I guess it's not my time now) :)

ONE potholder took me 4 flipping hours to make. I feel like I've run a marathon or something. I'm exhausted.
Ya'll folks who put together a whole quilt top in a day freak me out!

Me make a quilt in a day??? (Sorry, Eleanor...LOL). I get distracted too easily so I choose patterns that are quick and easy peasy! Instant gratification :)
I actually don't have any trouble piecing a quilt together in a relatively short time...it's the quilting part that I hate!! Case in point...I'm making a Christmas table runner for myself and I've had it put together for a few days but I'm dragging my feet on quilting it!! I don't want to send it out to be quilted because it's such a small piece and I don't want to pay someone else to quilt it. So....I've walked away from it for now and I'll tackle it when the "mood" strikes me.
The point is...we all walk away when we need to. No shame in that :)

Well said i couldn't have put it in a better way! We all develop our own style and in our own time the main thing is that we enjoy what ever we do and be creative let your imagination run wild and have fun doing it :)

I hate the quilting side of it as well it never turns out the way i want it! and it's very orquid to maneuver in the machine the worse is the sandwich the batting to the feature fabric to the backing all this tape and to hold the backing tight and the pins OH the pins!!! but it always looks great when finish the front anyway!! :) never look at the back of my quilting
