It's horrible when you finally go to bed and all you do is lay and think of things you could be making. giggle
I press after I chain piece. It'll take too long if I did one by one :)

But since my blocks are only 6" with sashing in between...I think just the sashing will get quilted!
I love to quilt smaller projects. They go so much faster. But I usually end up doing big ones. I have a lot of tops I need to quilt. But it's slow going doing it by hand which I prefer. I do have some machine quilted that a friend did for me.
Can't wait to see your pics.

what an inspiration. I just joined the 1.5" block swap because I hate to throw out anything and thought it would be a great way to use up my scraps. I'm gonna try hand piecing these. I won't be completing them as fast as you!
Great job, can't wait to see the finished product.
