Poll: Time on a Quilt
Do you spend more time on
Just curious. My answers:
I did not include learning. I probably spend just as much time learning via videos, DVD, classes, and reading as I do making each quilt. Its an ADD/OCD thing.
- Planning (drooling over other quilts, choosing colors, layout designs)
- Cutting
- Piecing or Applique
- Quilting & Binding
Just curious. My answers:
- Planning - 40% + (probably more)
- Cutting- 10% (die or strip cuts)
- Piecing or Applique - 40%
- Quilting 10% (send out for long arm, bind myself)

Can we add Procrastinating to the list?
If I spent even 20% of my time on cutting, piecing, and quilting I would have finished far more quilts. Too much of my time is spent looking at quilts online and in magazines and books, trying to decide what to make next, changing my mind, pulling fabrics and putting them back...

I have to agree with Dunster! I spend way too much time looking at quilts and telling myself I will make that one, & that one, & that one..... Then I go to my sewing room and start pulling out fabric trying to decide what to do. Definitely spend the most time planning the quilt. But once I get stated then there is no stopping me! By the way, I love that quilter's brain diagram - so true!!
