I wash and iron fabric(starching), cut it entirely, piece it one block at a time, put the blocks together, borders and sashing, sandwich, baste and quilt. This could take me a very LONG time or it may go together quickly. It depends on my mood also. I do try to sew at least a couple hours a day. I also like cutting a whole project and bagging if I find I don't have enough time to sew. Later, it seems to go quicker. It is always a continuing learning process.
