I usually use a foundation of a very long (say 90") strip of muslin as my foundations. Then, I start somewhere in the middle of the strip. I lay down two sort-of rectangular strips on each then chain sew the strips. It can be awkward initially as there is lots of unsewn fabric hanging out. After about a foot or sew, I can sew down both sides of the strip in a chain-sew, without cutting until I've attached pieces to all the foundations.
for some reason, I am unable to upload a pic. Sorry.
