Ok! while watching Downton Abby last night I made the two sets of 4 patch blocks for the D4P swap for December. I chain-pieced the squares which made the blocks come together so fast. Now I have to make the cuts and sew up the blocks to finish. I guess this is the slow part of the process.

Does anyone have any suggestions that would speed up this part of the block-making process? If there's no way to speed it up then, I'll just plug along. Only making 2 sets so it's not a huge amount of time, but I timed myself and including sewing the 4 patches together, it took about 15 mins to cut/sew/press each D4P block.

Has anyone timed yourself to see how long it takes to make one block? Thinking I'm just a slow block maker....

Any advice for a faster process would be appreciated.
