From conception to completion.... Usually about 3 to 4 years for the average queen size quilt, longer if I am handquilting it. I tend to gravitate towards more complex patterns and quite honestly I relish the process. I may spend over a year deciding on fabrics or vice versa have the fabrics and spend years deciding on the pattern. Once in the que, the project could easily languish for another year or more if something comes up that takes precidence. Once I start cutting and sewing I can often complete the top in a few months but then get to the last few borders and put it aside for a while and start something new.

I always have several projects going at once in varying levels of completion, I work full time and I quilt for others on my longarm.

Retired Quilter

As a retired quilter I quilt when in the mood. I probably complete 1 or 2 quilts a year. (This does not include charity quilts. I make 12 - 15 of those a year.) If hand quilted it could take 2 years. I make some small projects along the way. But, I'm always busy - sewing, gardening, traveling, etc. Life is good.

Since I work full time and can only sew a few nights each week, I would say it takes me about 2 weeks to finish a full size quilt. This year I have made over 20 quilts, most were full and queen size quilts, some with pillow shames and one with three window valances. No two quilts were the same. Hoping to get more done in the coming year

I can do one in a short time if I need to, but I prefer to take my time and enjoy the process. Also I don't like to get so many tops done and not have them quilted.

I like to challenge my skills and try different things. I have done about 20 or so quilts this past year, hate to count might be a tad scary. I do reasonably easy patterns, I would call most of the ones I do late beginner early intermediate. I have designed a few patterns based on something I see that I liked. Not sure how i am so fast, I do take my time while making them. I will say I have no DH or kids around to take up my time. I live alone and dont go out very often. So it is possible I have more free time than others due to lack of having anyone else around to distract. I also get bored very easy, perhaps that is why I move fast.....natural compensation? Who knows. I do know that a quilt I put 3hrs into and a quilt I put 30hrs into have the same amount of love and attention to details in both.

If it is a simple pattern, A queen can be done in 75- 100 hrs. from piecing to binding.
This year 2013 my records shows 23 and lots of new ufo's. lol....

After reviewing my pictures, I completed 10 quilts this year. I have one more I need to get on the frame to quilt. Didn't know I had done so many. Thanks for asking. I was thinking it had been a slow year!

Depends on pattern , usually a couple of weeks from start to finish, working several hours per day on it.

I may do the top , cutting and stitching in a few days . Ohhhhh then I have to sandwich and quilt Now this could take one day, one month one year or not sure how long some have been waiting. I'm going quicker since I discovered s schambers boards and glue.

It takes me 8 to 10 weeks to finish a bed sized quilt. That is primarily because I need to do shorter projects in between working on the "big one". It would drive me nuts to take 2 1/2 to 3 months to finish a project, so I have to intersperse it with short projects. I swear I don't have ADD!
