I would have to say I am a fast quilter. I have to finish one project before I start the next... no UFO's here... I can't wait till each project is completed so I can start on the next. I actually wish I was a little more ADD.. so that I could have multiple projects going... I guess I am the odd quilter...lol

I have a kitchen timer. I set it for 55 minutes. I read for 55 min, then sew for 55 min, then watch something I have TiVoed for 55 min, then I set it for 10 minutes and clean house. When that is done I go out to eat lunch with a friend or solo. Then I come home and start all over again. Sometimes I have to substitute a power nap for the house cleaning. Ahhh, life is good and I thank God several times a day for my life.

I would say when I do sew it is pretty fast. I have a few projects in the works so I share my time with those. I belong to a strip club so every other month we make a quilt so that keeps me busy as we meet the first 2 Wednesdays of the month - the rest of the time we are on our own.

All this makes my project take 5 times longer than it really could. Seems I am a slow sewer.
How about you?

time away from the sewing machine. But being retired, I can spend a lot of time doing all of it.
