I generally make them in groups of 5 or 10 so I have smaller deadlines and meet them before charging on to the next group. When I was making those 40 LeMoyne stars for my mom's quilt, I made them in batches of 10 so I planned the day by 10 blocks and then I didn't feel like they went on forever.

That's what I'd do...otherwise, for sure I'd make a mistake and replicate it through the whole lot! But you are no doubt a LOT more organized than I am. Gorgeous block, and the colors just jump. I love it. Hmmmm, do you make one complete block first, to be sure the steps are right? That’s what I’d do…otherwise, for sure I’d make a mistake and replicate it through the whole lot!

I personally hate paper piecing, not for the reasons you mention, but because I hate manipulating the fabric and the paper. But for some things like New York Beauty it's a must, I admit.

I've only been quilting for a couple of years, don't belong to a guild, and have no quilting friends except here in space. It is helpful--as well as interesting--to see how other quilters work. Which is the reason I watch "Simply Quilts" (when it's not the umpteenth time I've seen the episode) and Fons & Porter's show on PBS. If I didn't know how to cook, I would want to watch a good one at work. Thanks! Deb, I think it’s wonderful that you describe how you work.
