I always do them in the order I receive them. I measure right away and if there is a problem, such as the backing is to small I call the customer. When they correct the problem, they go back into the original order it came in at. If it isn't back by the time I do the next quilt, I just keep going until they return it. Most of the time I have the quilts done before the due date so if there is an emergency quilt, I can fit it in without delaying the other quilts.
