I have to say boston1954 I love your quilt.! I mark my rows from the design wall with scrap paper with #'s and I pin them to left top of first block. I pin my block sides together as i sew them and put the row back up on wall. So far so good. The beads sound great to use and the numbered pins.

so far I've done all these things. Guess I'm on the right track. I've wondered if there is a better way, hoping to see something different that will work for me LOL I've wondered if I'm dyslexic. Is there AD (adult dyslexia?)

These are all wonderful suggestions! Some great ideas here that I will try. Thank you all for sharing!

I also mark mine rows are numbers and columns are lettered

But I use a small piece of masking tape with the corresponding number or letter it only takes a few minutes to mark it and rip off. works good for me.

I take a photo on my phone or I pad, I stitch in rows as I finish a row, I use sticky address labels for the printer, write numbers on and cut into small pieces and stick the row number on the first block. I'm doing a drunkards path just now and this has kept me on the straight and narrow lol.

I do the same thing. Keeps every thing in order and your sanity at the same time

I don't have a design wall. I mark my blocks and rows with crayola washable markers. They always wash out. I have tried all the other ways of marking and find the markers works best for me.

No matter how much "running" I have to do between design wall and machine, I only work with 2 or 3 blocks at a time. I put right sides together actually on the design board and they are put in a pile so that the seam side is on the right like I am going to put it under the machine. Then back to the design board like several have said. I am so anal that if I'm working with top middle bottom stuff, I put the top part on top with middle row underneath and bottom row on the bottom of my pile to get ready to sew. I know-- I'm bad--my friends call my friend anal and I'm super-anal!! LOL I think they're right!

I, too, pin mine together before going to machine...only row numbers.

Some people take pictures of the blocks before taking it down.

The numbering system of 1a, 1b, - or a1, a2, a3 - works for me.
