I usually cut everything(my least favorite part and it hurts my back since I'm 5'11" and can't get the table just the right height), then I chain sew about 1/4 of each kind of piece and put them together just to see what it looks like....and that usually gives me the momentum to finish the piecing. Then I drape it somewhere I can see it easily to enjoy it for a week or two.....then I'm on to the next project. (Nope, I didn't "forget" to tell you that I quilted it. I'm just a top maker 99% of the time!)

Depends on the size of the quilt but I like to due things in stacks. But I find that if I do all the cutting and then clean up and take a break, then organize then the next step that every thing goes smoother....

Always different, I usually can't wait to get somthing on the design wall, so will cut enough to make a block or 2 and then get into more cutting to get lots of blocks up to prove I've actually done somthing!

I usually do all the cutting first. I don't like that part and put off starting anything. So, I started cutting several projects at one time, then when I am ready (even if I just have a few minutes) I can just sew.

I make one sample block first then I cut them all out.. sew some and make blocks, sew some more, make more blocks and sew some more... I like seeing it all come together on my design wall..
