I have also used paper plates to keep each section organized, baggies would work too. The "KEY" is to do what works for you.
Of the 6 gals who live body started this, one is on to the 9-patch stage, 3 are still sewing strips, one was a NO SHOW- lol and the other just bought her fabrics last night. (I am not going to admit how far behind I am- lol)
Good news is: You are done with cutting, it is chain sewing from here on out- whooo whooooo!
Disclaimer: Several of my gals are doing yardage of four fabrics (three color and a background) I have the GO cutter and Strip Dies and have helped cut out the strips. I will do a separate post showing how to use yardage. I think we will have some beautiful quilts to show off soon.

i just finished ALL of my P's and they are in a basket waiting for the kids to go home so i can start sewing again! i can't wait to hunk them together to make my A, B, and C's!!!!
when i hunked up the P's from the S 3rows to what the P would be, i made a little paper noting the P# and what 3row S# it used making a little 9 patch drawing of initials of the colors. i pinned all of the strips or 3rows together with the P paper and sewed a P# at a time. most of them went fast, but boy howdy, that P 10 and 14 sure took a while!
to bad there are sooooo many things calling my name to me today. i am thinking i might not get to do much of anything today after all, but tomorrow is another day......
too bad i was attempting to edit my first comment, and it ended up posting them both.....the first was too confusing....actually, anyone without knowing deborah's terminology would have absolutely no idea what i was saying anyway, and even the ones KNOWING will probably have a tough time LOL
lol, I deleted your first comment. I love this pattern so much better!
I think the key is to just jump and and do it. Take one step at a time. There are a couple of 9-patch sets that seem to go forever but just think, when these are done you are in the home stretch!
I decided I want a scrappy, scrappy one so cut out another kit TO DO later. (Still haven't started on this one- lol) This makes three for me cut and ready to work on.
I am a running behind...family and work stuff. I will post this evening or tomorrow about my progress.
today was apparently a therapy day. i woke up at 9, took a daughter to work, went to the fish store for fish, played with the fish tanks (we have 5) and watched them ALL the rest of the day. i love to watch them swim and play and went from one tank to the next several times. any time i felt a productive urge coming on, the fish watching became more wonderful and that urge just got plain ignored. boy howdy do i feel peaceful, but sure didn't get a lick of anything done today LOL
sure am hoping that i will work on this quilt again tonite though after i get home from doing the girls at their bible study....and could even go do a bit before we go.....
