    Cybrarian, thanks so much for that lucid explanation! One of these days, I'll understand myself, maybe....

    Cagey, one of the things I dropped out of my life when I retired was the word 'should'. All of my working life, there were hundreds of things that I should do. I came to hate that word. So, I decided to retire it. I refuse to have it around. I like to piece by piece, most of the time, until my brain sees an opportunity to do it another way. I quilt because it is fun and it feeds the creative me that has had so little outlet until now. My advice: Quilt the way that satisfies you!

    If the pattern is clear and lots of pictures I will do the chain pieces, otherwise I do different. I do cut out all pieces before sewing. I put the pieces in stacks and label them, put them in a plastic tub until needed.

    See.....that would make me run screaming the other way. I did a table topper and a tree skirt at Christmas this way and literally gave serious thought to trashing about $60 worth of fabric after I cut it out because it was so stressful to me to have it like that.

    We all have to do what works best for us and anyone that tells you differently I give you permission to stick your fingers in your ears and hum while they try!

    I love chain piecing and it saves so much thread. It does take practice but I am able to piece several rows at once after having a lot of practice.

    It depends on the quilt I am working on. Sometimes it is a quilt to get done. And then sometimes it is the journey that I enjoy most. This is one block at a time.

    I cannot assembly line sew. My brain does not work that way and I do it block by block. As hard as I have tried assembly line sewing does not work for me.
