What would you do?
#1
I'm making a quilt that is 4" blocks and 10 blocks X 15 blocks. I have almost all the blocks done.
Should I sew them into larger blocks? like 5 blocks X 5 blocks?
Or put them into rows and sew all the rows together.
I've never made a quilt with so many small blocks before.
Thanks!

Just me, but I don't think I really matters. Whatever works best for you. I think it might be more manageable combining the small squares into larger blocks then put together in rows. Let us know what you decide. Love to see photos.

Interesting topic. I always do rows. I chain sew vertical rows and then sew the horizontal rows without ever cutting the threads. It never even occurred to me to make smaller blocks into bigger chunks, but I can see how that might be easier. I guess I'll have to test drive that plan.
