Quilting Done on Mosaic Lighthouse Quilt

Tonight I finished quilting the Mosaic Lighthouse quilt.  Now for the binding -- to which I plan to add looped cording -- and then I will do some embroidery to better define the lighthouse and the keeper's house.

I spent 48.5 hours quilting it, bringing the number of hours in this quilt so far up to 472.

Since the quilting is hard to see on the front, I took some pictures of the back:

Somebody asked how I keep track of the hours I spend on the quilt.  I use the Excel program, and have the 'Hours' row divided so each activity is tallied separately.  When I add the number of hours I've quilted that day, for example, the Quilting total at the bottom changes, as does the GRAND TOTAL below that.

When I first started keeping track of hours spent on a quilt, the hardest part of the entire procedure was remembering to look at the clock when I started, look at it again when I stopped, and then actually type the number of hours into the document.  I totally forgot to take note of the hours I worked on the Cross-Stitched Block Quilt; it'll be a barely-educated guess, if I try to figure it out now.

Here is what my Excel spreadsheet looks like, minus the functions and formulas and gridlines:
