In something like this block, though, done the traditional way, I'd have to agree with her. I was amazed watching her put together a few blocks.

I was trying to say that she argues that hand piecing, in some instances, is faster.
And if you have an AccuCut or Go or whatever - you should use it to cut your pieces regardless of the method you choose to piece.

i have made about 60 tumbling blocks by hand using jinny beyers' hand piecing techniques book. the reason she can sew them so quickly is because she stacks lots of stitches on the needle... similiar to her gathering a fabric for a skirt. we are retired and travel a lot and i always have something to bring along.
she gives the template pattern and some wonderful other quilt designs using the diamond pattern.
