I'm impressed that you took the time to sew the seams on the diagonal. That took a bit of extra time. And I know that it hardly ever takes an hour to do one of these quilts. I know you start your time after you sew all your 2 1/2" together end to end, but still...an hour is cutting it pretty short. Took me way longer, but I took breaks...couldn't stand sitting at my machine and staring at my foot for that long.
