i hate cutting a whole quilt out at once- if you make one little error you can have to scrap yards of fabric...and start over- i am much more comfortable to just work a block at a time- when i reach a point where i can start laying things out it gets so exciting! and it seems like a quilt is taking quite awhile...then all of a sudden it all comes together...ahhhhhhh wonderful!
that and i might cut out a whole quilt - struggle with a block and decide i really hate this---and i'm stuck with stacks of cut fabrics---takes the fun right out of the process for me
