I quilt my own, when I can. I am a LAQ and have been quilting for others for 14 years. Customer quilts come first so mine just have to wait. So I have several in waiting. I love seeing the big smiles when they come to get their quilts.

I noticed a lot of folks say they hand quilt - I have a question. How long does it take to do hand quilting? I just started quilting and practicing my FMQ and signed myself up for a hand quilting class at my LQS. I want to do a couple pillows out of Tile Quilts. I was just curious - how long does it take to do say a pillow, crib, full - any size you have an idea about. Thanks!

I quilt at night for a couple of hours and I would say I could do a small pillow in a week. It all depends on how intricate the quilting stitches are. It takes me longer to do feathers and circles. Straight lines go quickly. Sometimes I mark and sometimes I just free hand. I have been making lap quilts 60 x60 and those take me about two months to quilt. I put a lot of stitches in mine.
Hope this helps.
