I usually put a test block together and then cut enough to sew for an hour, cut some more, sew, etc. By doing it this way, I don't get bored or sore from sitting too long at the machine which I have definitely been known to do! Sometimes just to mix it up, after I have sewn my test block, I'll just cut out two elements of the block, factory sew them, press and then cut out the next piece to be added. It's all just a game! :lol:
