JoAnne - thanks for confirming I understood it LOL I was having a tough time trying to explain it so I'm glad it came across ok.

Lin - I'll do it the way you described sometimes also depending on how difficult my block layout is. I'm all about chaining! If I could make an entire quilt top without ever ending the chain, I'd be a happy gal heehee

In the class I just took yesterday I was able to sew all my blocks together without a breaking the chain. Was very cool to only have one tail to ever get rid of!

Honestly, it just depends on my mood and how many seams have to match.
