    Depends on what I am working on.. I am not good at reading patterns somehow, so I can look at a picture, break it down and then work, but cut, sew, press....pretty much that is it...unless there are a lot of the same then cut, chain, press, chain, press.... guess thats it.. I am really enjoying everyones comments!! Hugs!

    I usually cut a few of the blocks to get started. I've always been afraid of the committment to cut it all at once. What if it turns out I don't like it. So, a little at a time. Sometimes while I'm sewing I decide on a different setting or border. I mostly don't have an idea of what it will look like when I'm done, so I'm always surprised.

    I cut entire kits out at once. I am a little OCD, so I do the binding first to make sure it is done and waiting on the quilt (Motive to get them done).
    I chain like pieces together and press in between each additional step (OCD remember- ;-) )

    I cut enough for one block and make it. If it's OK then I'll cut enough for a few more, make them, etc. I jump back and forth. (Short attention span, you know)

    Sometimes the "prep" time seems to take FOREVER... but it is worth it. To me, it is just more efficient.
    This is what I do most of the time also

    I do a little cutting then a little sewing and pressing and then back to cutting. It depends on what my mood is. I may prefer to cut one day. Also it is hard for me to cut at night. I like to do that in the morning and sew at night.

    i never cut out a whole quilt at once- to many chance of error- i hate it when i buy a book or pattern that only has instructions for the whole quilt. i want to be able to do a block at a time- that way if i want to change something along the way i'm free to do so- and if i screw up a cut i didn't do it a hundred times.
