Default Cathederal Window question

Last month I was reading through a tutorial on a machine stitched CW quilt. I decided I wanted to make one, and have cut and ironed almost half of the squares I will need to complete. I've a question however, and of course now can't find the tutorial I was reading (I know it was posted by one of our gentleman members). I'm hoping that someone who has made a CW can give me some guidance. My quilt will most likely consist of 750 4 inch squares (finished size) with 25 squares across and 30 squares down. My question is, what is the best way to actually construct the quilt. For example, should I sew all squares together first and then place the batik "window" squares, or should I work in blocks of squares sewn together. I'm thinking that it might be a bit unwieldy for my DSM if I sew it all together - but would really like advice from those with more experience in this area than I have. Any help or suggestions will be very greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
