I don’t cut all at once. I like to do a trial block to see if I even want to proceed. If I like it, I usually jump right in and cut a block, sew a block, press the block. I like to break up all my tasks so that I don’t get sore from doing any one thing for too long. Once all my blocks are sewn, I will sometimes pack it away ( with all my fabrics) in my project drawer. I have one of the rolling plastic multi drawer units from Walmart that hold my works in progress.
