There are to many variables for anyone to say exactly how long it will take to make a quilt. I am a pretty fast peicer and quilter.....but if I have to do binding it could take year...LOL finish. That's why I have started sending my bindings out. I just like to have them finished.

For me it depends as well.
I have done a baby quilt in 13 hours over 3 days.
Right now it has almost taken me 2 months to get a 90x100 quilt done with most if the work being done this last month and I have been working 2-3 hours a day on it.

Then other times it has taken me 2 years to get a baby quilt done :D :lol:

I have finish one in about a year.. Machine pieced, hand quilted, I have finished some in about 6 weeks, machined pieced and quilted. and then again, I have one in the closet, I bought after the blizard in 1993 that I am still looking for a snow day to finish. (I am about 2/3 finished.) but then again. I work and have other projects always going. It really depends on the quilt and if it is a gift or for me.

Don't worry, it takes me a while to finish quilts too. Mostly because I can't work on one quilt at a time! But the one quilt I worked on start to finish because it was just large rectangles, 6 1/2 by 9 1/2 and no borders, it took me 4 days? But that was just because it was large rectangles. My other quilts can take anywhere from 2 weeks to a few months. Sometimes I hand quilt, sometimes I machine quilt, and sometimes, I just tie them. And I can only quilt for a few hours at a time or my back kills me too!

Really depends on the quilt. Most of the ones I've done are finished within a week to a month. My latest (and largest *a king*) has taken 3 months so far and will hopefully be done by this weekend.

It all depends on how long it is from when I start to when it needs to be done. It can be anywhere from a few days to several years!

I did a lapquilt in a day - simple random squares and SID on my sewing maching. My current project I started on May 12 and am still going strong. It's a queen sized strip pieced star, with animal silhouttes in each corner, quarter inch outlines of the diamonds, various symbols on the various borders... I ran away from home last week and quilted for three solid days. But I'm having a garage sale this weekend so haven't touched it since last Saturday. It goes like that :) I work full time, teach at church, and have 2 teenaged daughter at home, so I don't get nearly as much quality time with the needle and thread as I'd like. My dad takes the girls out every Thursday night for their quality time, so I do get at least 3 hours a week :)

Uh....I have a couple that took over 10 years, LOL!:lol:

And, then again, a few I've done in a week or two, but that's rare. I tend to quilt/sew in fits and starts. :?

There are just to many variables to say how long. I'm lucky that I have the 'time' to quilt when I want, when life is not getting in the way. But IMHO the biggest variable is mood (you might have noticed, above).

totally depends on the quilt and my state of mind at the time- anywhere from a weekend to 10 years!
i have made a twin quilt on a saturday- quilted on sunday- i have started a quilt on saturday---and 4-5 years later---have half of it together---
it's all relative-
every quilt is different
most of the time if i really put my mind to it- twins go together pretty fast-
and since i have a long arm- twins can usually be quilted in a 2-3 hours
but i have to apply myself
