Currently I'm making a red and white sampler quilt so am deciding on -- and cutting-- each block as I go. For scrappy or other kinds of quilts, I cut pieces for a lot of blocks, until I get tired of cutting, perhaps, and then start sewing. But my dining table is usually cluttered with fabric, cutting mat and rotary cutter until I get that entire quilt pieced, and I never cut sashings or borders until blocks are done, often because I haven't decided on them until then.
