Depending on the size of the blocks, this is where cookie sheets, pizza boxes and large form meat trays come into play. Cut the block, lay on the cookie, sheets, pizza boxes or meat trays, layer them up and carry to machine for stitching.
E. Burns does her flip/sew and it is easy to keep them all in the right place. |

I prefer to do them one at a time. I think this and the D9P aren't good candidates for chain piecing. It can be done, but it's not fun.

Inexpensive paper plates also work well for separating each block.

I've rearranged my room so that my design wall is directly behind me as I sew. Makes it really convenient to just peel a block off the wall and sew it together. I can cut it all, bring it to the wall and arrange it there to make sure it's all in the right order, then just sit and sew it all together, putting finished blocks back up on the wall.
Works as long as I'm just doing a small section. Still have to get up a lot if I have a whole queen-size laid out on there, lol. |
Thanks for more suggestions. Farmquilter, I like your idea but probably will have to get thru this first attempt at D4P before I'm comfortable enough to try. Wildyard, I really like the idea of using paper plates to separate the blocks...easier to work with. Now, just to get ready to make those cuts. Will have to wait until next week as I have to work now thru the weekend.

sewnoma, what a great idea, wish I could do that in my room but placement of the window and my small space makes it not realistic. My sewing space is in the center of the room with storage on all the walls.
