A friend and I used to do this for a $5 quilt program at our LQS. We would go to breakfast, attend the meeting, and go to lunch. Then we would go to one of our houses and make the blocks. Since we were using the Marti Michell templates, we would decide who cut which template pieces, then one of us would sew and the other would press. It took no time at all, and we got to extend our visiting time. The added bonus was that there was no scrambling the night before to make the block.
