    Same as many others. Make one block as a reference then chain piece enough for a row, then put that together.

    I too do one block at a time. I enjoy the process and am not in any rush. I am not a fast quilter either

    I also do the blocks one at a time & cut as I go. I do some in multiples, but only if I'm sure what I'm doing.

    I am making an embroidered crazy quilt. I did all 120 blocks first. I am now putting them together.

    If I can strip piece, I do the chain stitching over and over again until all units are assembled. There is something really satisfying about cutting 60 blocks and knowing all I have to do is a quick press and I am ready to assemble. Then I chain as much as I can on putting the quilt together. I learned from Eleanor Burns initially, and I still use her ways of doing things. Seems so much faster than other ways I have tried.

    In this situation I would do it in sections and chain piece. Depending on your own personal style of working you can do them all or if you are like me I like to see the progress, so I would do perhaps 20, 20 and 20. I seldom get the opportunity to sit down and work for a full day or two and I just want to see some finished blocks on my "wall" so I would do 20. This also lets me know if I have made errors in sewing or heaven forbid cutting!

    A block at a time gives me a sense of accomplishment and then I can arrange them and join later. If by chance I am slightly off on one I can usually put it to the outside of a row where it ajoins a border and is not so noticeable.
