I pieced the blocks by machine. A friend of mine has an Acuquilt Go and allowed me to cut the blocks with her machine and template. The boon is the Acuquilt cut pieces have little notches like on a garment pattern. Boy oh boy, does that make a HUGE difference in piecing the blocks. I would like to make another in jewel tones later this year.
I have some examples that were hand pieced and well, they were not accurate. I am not that skilled with hand piecing, so machine is the way to go for me. It took a few blocks to be able to whiz through the block. Yup, I have a few orphans that were made early-on and were not an accurate 12 " but close enough to not toss out.
