me too............. but sometimes on a complicated block it is easy to get a piece in wrong that is when i do all them at one time making sure each piece is correct then doing all of them then move on to the next piece

Sewing all the pieces one step at a time. For very complicated blocks, I usually work them start to finish on each block. I have gotten things turned around in strip-piecing so I am now more careful.
