I usually do 10 or so in a row and then divide the time, because all the in-between stuff like needle threading and having a sip of tea gets counted, too. Just to be honest with myself. :)Jessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15252299991773136970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3876887125491011351.post-4803169877042046752014-03-11T09:33:15.158-04:002014-03-11T09:33:15.158-04:00I am also interested in timing the processes invol...I am also interested in timing the processes involved in EPP. Not for speed, any more than you are interested in it for speed, but for self knowledge. It is good to know how much time one is investing in one's work. A few months ago I timed the basting of hexagons because I often prepare then ahead of time and they end up being consumed in a number of projects. I knew that this would make estimating the time spent on a particular project difficult unless I knew how long it took to baste one hexagon. I want to thank you for encouraging us to link back to your posts. I think I have accomplished more as a result, and I am very happy to see what others are doing. I'm in New Jersey, so I am an East Coaster as well.Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13921948878349961025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3876887125491011351.post-72831344068655447382014-03-11T01:24:29.816-04:002014-03-11T01:24:29.816-04:00I love the colors you are using!

It's so funny you posted your times, because I was just thinking this weekend about how much time it takes to baste vs. stitching the hexagons together. I think I will have to try it just to see. I agree with Adrienne though....I think you are a cheetah! Great job spreading the EPP fever!Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09445212305363510442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3876887125491011351.post-81810904045834566242014-03-10T19:14:43.998-04:002014-03-10T19:14:43.998-04:00I think I sew more like a snail than a cheetah.
