Sleepy Hollow

I track mine, just because when I started, I was curious how long one would take.

So far I have three finished quilts, two with the sewing machine (pieced fronts, quilted to a fleece backing, no batting), and a baby quilt that has a panel and two side pieces I hand pieced, and then hand quilted. A second baby quilt, being done the same way, is in the works.

I don't include time I spend looking at fabrics, but start my timing from when I start to press the fabric (I haven't pre-washed any of my fabrics). It includes pressing, cutting, piecing, and quilting. I end when I tie off and hide the thread for that last binding stitch. I don't count washing it when it's done, since I can do other things during that time.

Grinch quilt-- machine pieced/quilted, 24 hours 45 minutes (Started November 27, 2016, finished December 4 at 3:40 am)

Son's blue/black Christmas quilt-- machine pieced/quilted, 20 hours 30 minutes (started December 21, finished December 25 at 11 pm)

Baby quilt with bears-- Three hand pieced fabrics (panel and a top and bottom), hand quilted, 105 hours 30 minutes. May need to go back and add more quilting to be within my 8" quilting space, if so, I will add that time later. (for now... started July 6, 2016, finished January 18, 2017 at 3:05 pm)

I already have over 45 hours in on my current quilt, a baby quilt with a castle, knights, and dragons.

I often watch a show while I quilt, and sometimes have to pause it to go do something. I can use the time of the show as my quilting time in those cases.
