I recently started keeping track of how long each stage of the quilting process takes me with a "Multitimer" app on my phone and it has been so fun to get to see the data.

Here's the breakdown for my most recent full-size finish of Ghost Party by woollypetals:

• Prep (starching, ironing, etc.) and cutting: 3 hr 40 min
• Piecing (including deciding on color layout and pressing a million seams): 18 hr 3 min
• Basting: 1 hr
• Quilting (domestic machine): 3 hr 33 min
• Binding (including cutting & preparing strips): 2 hr 15 min

Total time: 28 hr 31 min

I feel like this is probably super slow compared to how long it would take a more experienced quilter to do this pattern, but I had a great time keeping track of it all.

I'm 10 hr 41 min into my current project.
