I made country dolls for many years to sell at shows and gift shops, maybe 5,000 in all. The only way I could get so many made was by assembly line. All bodies, faces done, hair completed, dressed and then tagged. If I had to jump from one thing to another I never would have gotten any made. Assembly line is the answer!!

I'm assembly line all the way. I've even done sampler quilt assembly line, when the blocks are not the same and I'm doing them scrappy.

I can't stand doing one or two seams and then ironing.

Wow! About 100 years ago, I made similar dolls... about 2 or 3 dozen a year. You were really busy! Doing that many must have been a challenge!!

IF I'm making a quilt with numerous blocks all the same, I make all the elements at once and then assemble. (ie: The quilt I'm doing now has 8 flying geese and 4-4 patches in ea. block. I make them all at once and square them up) However, most quilts I make have multiple sections and lots of applique, so I cut all the applique pieces at once and separate by block in baggies, then construct ea. block separately.

I usually sew in an assembly line fashion. I will do all of my cutting out and then I will sew all of step 1, etc. I find it helps to keep me focused so I don't get confused.

For a project, I usually do one to make sure it works and I like it, then I'll do all of one step for everything. All my cutting, all of step one.
I have to put them up on my design wall inbetween, I can't really chain piece. I'm very visual and have a hard time unless I can see what comes next. At least I get alot of exercise getting up and down to get the next piece.
If I bounce around I get mixed up.
