Piecing question
 
When you are piecing a quilt that has all the same block do you:

1~piece an entire block and move to the next block or
2~ piece one step on all the blocks then go onto the next step for each block ???

I am doing a quilt that has 60 blocks and was just wondering how everyone does theirs !

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 :thumbup:

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 do them in units and might not have an entire block finished for some time

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 do one whole block to make sure I know how it is going to turn out. If I make a mistake all I have to do is fix one block and not a dozen. Once I finish the first block I will do a dozen at a time and chain stitch each step.

I also like to make a whole block as a reference and then do them in groups. There's something about seeing your quilt go from one block to a whole row to a third, to almost done. Boredom has birthed many a UFO.

I tend to do one block at a time and even often cut as i go...no wonder I`m such a slow quilter lol

But I highly recommend doing 1 or two complete blocks before commiting to 60.
