Well, I'm one to finish cutting before going to piecing, etc. I took a class with Ami Simms and was told I was anal because I had everything cut and ready to sew. NO ONE else had done this!! Oh, well!! Just for the record, I didn't end up farther on my quilt than others. I am a presser as well and am sure this took up more time than most. By the way, Kay England states not to press until the block is complete. I hang my head in shame as I can't do it!!
