How do you approach scrappy?
I am planning to make a tumbler quilt for my son, and I have an assortment of red, white, and blue tumbler blocks already cut. Normally, I would set them all out on the floor in his room (the only room with enough clear floor space for the job, so I jokingly refer to his room as the lab for my quilting room, though he is not amused) and rearrange the blocks so the colors are distributed well.
However, that makes the process SO MUCH more time consuming...I have to pin the pieces of one row, take them to the sewing room, sew, press, take them back, get the next ones, keep track of the order. It takes a long while.
I could just pull blocks at random and sew them together; I'd be able to adjust placement somewhat as I went along a row, but I wouldn't have much control over placement vertically, I think. I dunno. I'd like to make this process simpler, but not at the price of having a quilt I don't like.
How do you do this type of thing?
