If you cut all of your circles out first (INMHO, the MOST time consuming part), you can stitch while watching tv. Put a bunch in a ziplock bag with a couple needles, a spool of thread and a pair of snips and you can stitch while waiting at appts, etc. I think you can get the circles cut faster if you go to a scapbook store and use their die cutter (for a small fee but worth the time you save) or if your LQS has an AccuQuilt cutter you can use.
