Thread: Piecing question

I like to do one step on half of the blocks. Then finish those blocks and repeat the step on the final half. That way I don't get bored.

I do it it in chunks too 1/2 or a 1/3 of the blocks chain pieced and then finished, at least you get a sneak peak at what it will look like

[QUOTE=susie-susie-susie;5061596]I like to make 5-10 blocks at a time--chain piecing--that way you can see what it is going to look like. It keeps me from getting bored. It seems to go faster that way.

I'm with you!

I like to do one block and have it as a reference. After that, I do chain piece in groups of 5 or 10. When I have lots of blocks, it is much easier to tackle it in small chunks.

I sort of do that, too. I make one entire test block first (out of different fabrics and before cutting the fabric for the actual quilt) to make sure the measurements are correct and that I actually like the looks of the finished block. Once that's all set, I chain piece 10-15 blocks at a time until they're all finished.

My test blocks are all done with coordinating fabrics and they wind up in a sampler quilt...then I change the color palette for the next batch of test blocks.
