Cybrarian, thanks so much for that lucid explanation! One of these days, I'll understand myself, maybe....
Cagey, one of the things I dropped out of my life when I retired was the word 'should'. All of my working life, there were hundreds of things that I should do. I came to hate that word. So, I decided to retire it. I refuse to have it around. I like to piece by piece, most of the time, until my brain sees an opportunity to do it another way. I quilt because it is fun and it feeds the creative me that has had so little outlet until now. My advice: Quilt the way that satisfies you! |
If the pattern is clear and lots of pictures I will do the chain pieces, otherwise I do different. I do cut out all pieces before sewing. I put the pieces in stacks and label them, put them in a plastic tub until needed.

We all have to do what works best for us and anyone that tells you differently I give you permission to stick your fingers in your ears and hum while they try! |
I love chain piecing and it saves so much thread. It does take practice but I am able to piece several rows at once after having a lot of practice.
|
I think it is just to do what is best for you!!
|
It depends on the quilt I am working on. Sometimes it is a quilt to get done. And then sometimes it is the journey that I enjoy most. This is one block at a time.
|
I like assembly line, so much faster for me
|
I worked in a sewing hall for years so it comes natural,stay with it
|
I cannot assembly line sew. My brain does not work that way and I do it block by block. As hard as I have tried assembly line sewing does not work for me.
|
