What is your process?

As I am working on my Jewel Box quilt for me (finally!) I started to wonder how many people do all the cutting, then all the pressing, (I really am a qilter - I called it pressing instead of ironing!) then sew the same pieces at one time vs. an entire block at a time.
I didn't do all my cutting - but I did a lot. Now I am doing all the chain piecing.
What is your process?

Funny story about the Fushi-gator in the background. My mom's dog is Fushi - we call him Uncle Fushi becuase we treat our dogs like people! So - Uncle Fushi gave us the Gator - so we named it Fushi-Gator!

I change my method depending on the quilt I'm making I guess. With "Omigosh" I do some of the blocks at a time, then start over again. There was no way I wanted to stand there and cut that many strips, then sew that many strips, etc. etc - it was far easier to break it up into groups of 30 blocks or so.

I work in a production mode. Each is a weekend 1) all washing, starching, and ironing; 2)all cutting; 3) chain piecing 4) chain piecing; 5) put blocks together. Two years later, quilt the quilt. LOL, I work full time and at least two weekend a month. I have made quite a few quilts this way.

Mostly I work in assembly line style. I cut and bag my quilts into "kits", then when I have time I chain piece. Sometimes I'm dying to see how a block will come out, so I will do a whole block at a time. Depends on my mood and the amount of time/space/lack of distractions I have.
