I do all the placing, pinning, assembling the squares while watching TV...go to the machine to sew the seams...back to the couch to clip, then scissor cut the center line, finger press then start the next step in the assembly...The only problem I find is that you cannot anticipate the cutting of any future pieces..with step 2 Bonnie let us know at the end we will need 64 2"x3.5"black on white triangles for step 3...I've never done a Mystery before and almost cut 2" strips of all the b/w fabric..that would have been a big mistake!! Now I realize that there will be different cuts within each color so I have to cut just what is needed...For step 2, I figured out that you need 32 4.25" squares. I have 9-12 purples so I know to cut 3 & 4 squares from each one...depending on how much fabric I have of each...
