Default Machine and hand piecing

Do any of you do hand-piecing and machine-piecing on the same project?

There are some blocks that are "comparatively easy" to hand-piece that would be "very challenging" for me to machine piece.

I did hand piece the individual blocks for one thing I did. I wanted to be "a purist" and hand piece the whole thing, but after several tries, I was just unable to get 12 seams/intersections connected without a hole. So I sewed the blocks together by machine.

I also mixed my pressing. On the blocks, all the seams are pressed to one side. I pressed the machine sewn seams open.
