That makes all the other parts more tolerable too--the cutting, pressing, trimming, and assembling. I agree with the gratification factor of seeing finished work "as I go" instead of after hours of doing the same thing over and over. We human animals can only take so much routine :)AnnieOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06619125197850685345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116061752441257596.post-78758207698225000812011-03-31T06:02:49.176-07:002011-03-31T06:02:49.176-07:00I absolutely love this pieced border.

I do the same thing you do when I have to do a lot of the same block -- sew a few at a time (although I might do all of the cutting at one time, however). Also, since I rarely do quilt blocks using exactly the same fabrics, the fact that I've selected a ton of fabrics for a scrappy look does cut down on the tedium of doing the same block over and over.<br />Nancy<br />PS: 5 finishes officially completed in 2011LiahonaGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08649675385193694957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116061752441257596.post-30545170623553894622011-03-31T05:56:55.506-07:002011-03-31T05:56:55.506-07:00WOW!

In that case I do all the cutting so I know where I stand. My current project has a lot of small pieces, and requires 168 of most components. I'm doing them in groups of 10 or so.luv2quilt2https://www.blogger.com/profile/17315352954972040713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116061752441257596.post-7018538862299383832011-03-31T04:45:51.715-07:002011-03-31T04:45:51.715-07:00I set little goals.
