I know a lot of folks don't keep track of how long it takes to do something, but I've always been interested in how long it takes me to do a task. I like to look at the clock when I start and I like to check it when I'm done. I don't know why, I just do. I do this with sewing all the time. I love knowing how long it takes me to sew something, I kind of figure that into how keen I am to make something by hand.
Time statistics for the scrappy string block quilt top:
Sewing 49 quilt blocks - 13 minutes each - about 10.5 hours
Trimming each block - 3 minutes each - about 2.5 hours
Removing the paper towel foundation - 49 blocks - 4.5 hours
Sewing the blocks into rows - 1 hour
Sewing the rows into quilt - 1.5 hours
Total - 20 hours
