I’m planning on making a quilt with hst units. It will require over 2,000 units. I’m planning on going through all my left overs and make the units. However I have some questions.

Do you press and trim as you go? I may be making these for months (perhaps years) and wonder if they may become frayed or wonky as they set? Or should I accumulate them and then press and trim enough for each block as I make it?

Although I want a lot of different fabrics (all batik), I can’t imagine myself doing a truly random layout. If I make 8 hst units from one fabric, I would want them in different blocks, spread evenly across the quilt. So how would you organize your hst units? Set up a paper bag for each block and place the units into specific bags? Or use boxes? Folders?

Thanks in advance for your help.
