I would rather lance the dirt after quilting.
You know quilting makes a mess and m
Needs cleaning after quilting.
Don't need to do it twice.

On my days off I get up early get my housework done, put something in the crockpot and spend the rest of my day quilting.

I'd do both. Make a list of the top priorities in house cleaning then set a timer for 20 minutes...clean as hard and as fast as you can in those 20 then when the timer goes off set it for 20 again and go quilt...this is what I do when I want to quilt but know I have other things that need my attention. If I don't make a list of the housework I want to get done then I keep finding other things to do that really could have waited then get mad cuz I didn't spend any time quilting. This is what works for me...

Was there ever any question? Don't the fabric scraps you drop on the floor help with the cleaning process? So, why wouldn't you want them there?

Yes, the house will at some point have to be cleaned, but nothing says YOU have to do it!
