Been quilting over 16 years so, yeah, I've done this before, never without batting though. That was a challenge.

how long does it take to complete something like this?

I made two of these similar to each other, one for Uganda and one for the Children's miracle network. It takes hours. First you have to decide what block you want to use ( in this case I chose the easy 9 patch). Once you have all the blocks together, you add the sashing between blocks. When the top is finished I normally quilt it to batting and a backing fabric then finish it off with a border. As with anything, it's one step at a time. Don't be afraid to give it a go, you'll love the results .

Great job - so would you do another without the batting?

yes I would. The quilting part takes longer than piecing the top anyway. I free motion quilt on my sewing machine. Wish I had a real quilting machine!sigh!
