I usually sew all the pieces together in one row and then the next row and then attach the two rows and continue till I'm finished. Hopefully that way I don't get mixed up!!! and it usually works for me.

Wish I would have seen these responses sooner!
I finished the same pattern just before Christmas. I stripped pieced it and did have issues occassionally lining up seams. Now having read the different methods of piecing I want to start another one! The ideas make so much more sense to me. Thanks! Being an amateur is a pain but it sure is fun learning new mehtods.

My preference would be to sew row one in order from left to right, then row two the same, on down all the rows, then sew row one to row two, etc. on down. That's just my own way of doing it.

Divide it into quadrants. Then you take the first pair from the top left and sew them together. Without taking them off the machine take the next pair in the second row and sew them together. Keep doing that until you get the first pair sewn together for the top left quadrant. Then open the first pair and sew the third square in each row to the second square. Do that for each row and then open them and sew the fourth square to the third one in each row. Do that for each quadrant and then press the seams in each row in opposite directions and sew the rows together. By not cutting the chain between you'll keep all your pieces in the right orientation.
Love your colors.
