I use Judy Martin's method of cutting all the strips in advance and sorting them by size & colour (light and dark). Cutting goes quickly.

I also use a design wall to create eight blocks at a time. Then I take a photo of the eight blocks and start chain piecing.

If there's a mixup, I have the photo to put things back the way they were designed. The flimsy I'm going to send to a longarmer has at least 150 different light and dark pinks* for my granddaughter who LOVES PINK!

*To get that many, I fudged the definition of "pink" to include pinkish apricots and pinkish purples .....
