i Love Kaye! yup, i actually do both, it just depends on what i'm working on but i love working on blocks that i do not have to press until they are finished. I have not done a whole quilt without pressing along the way; but i made all the blocks without pressing during construction, then i pressed them all, then i did construct the quilt without pressing again until i was done. it saves tons of time...and i love doing it this way when hand piecing too. :thumbup: and Kaye is so... inspiring!
