For me it depends on the situation. I am lucky enough to belong to a sewing group. We are just a bunch of friends that get together once a month for a sit n sew. We help each other with projects. We also make quilts for victims of disaster in our local area. That is when we do the "speed quilts". When our stash of quilts start to get a bit low we all chip in and make up quilts quickly. Either method it is nice to have someone there for help when needed.
