sometimes I do. It's a good thing. sometimes I think they are too hard and I would not like to do that many blocks that are hard, or just don't like them.

I do, because I want to be sure I have some idea of what I'm doing before I charge ahead on a big quilt. Plus it gives me the opportunity to try my FMQ skills and decide if that's the way I want to go. They make cute little mug rugs, plant pads, whatevers.

I make a test block because I don't want any surprises after the pieces are cut out.

Oh no! I just get started. I may cut just a enough fabric to see if the actual blocks and fabrics are what I want, but once I start, that's it! Having said that, I"m about to embark on making a Double Wedding Ring by hand - I may jsut make a test block for that....but not a little quilt!
