For an all over design it is possible to do a queen size in one afternoon. Megan

So far, it has taken me 3 months to machine quilt an almost-twin size quilt, and it's still not done. But then, I'm not working on it much.
I got to thinking after I posted my last comment, that you probably aren't using a longarm, so my post is completely not correct. Megan
Is it with a regular sewing machine or using a longarm?
I've seen your photos recently and loved 'em!
Here are some of my projects I have uploaded.

Are you using a longarm Megan?

I just went and looked at your pics. I love that African watercolor! There are a lot of African fabrics in that quilt in Margarita, too. I love all the wonderful colors and textures of African fabrics! I like your liberated quilt, too. The caption says it is completed now. How did you quilt it?
I still think you should move to NC. There is a house down the street from me that is for sale. I'll help you move your stash.
I would give myself a dedicated afternoon or two just to be safe. I've done a twin and it took about 5 hours with interuptions from husbands, kids, phone calls, etc.

Still, that's not bad time for getting a quilt done.
Thanks zo.
