Do you complete one "unit" completely - or do you "jump around" -

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!!

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.

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.
