I do chain piecing, iron all 12 seams at one time at each step. Makes me feel like I have really accomplished something when I get those done.
With the quilt I am currently working on, this is what I am doing as well. It's pp'd so I'm rough-cutting elements then sewing all of 1 and 2 pieces; trimming; pressing; sewing the next piece; repeat. But as I need at least 64 of these 12" blocks I'm only doing a dozen or so quadrants at a time. I don't have enough room to have everything cut; then sewn; etc.
