It is one of the hallmarks of my "Time Management for Quilters" program.

I like to simultaneously piece two quilts at the same time. I’m doing this with my Color My World paper piecing. After every seam while sewing a house, I sew two other blocks together for a secondary quilt. Many call this a leader/ender project. I have 4” blue and white squares next to my machine and my quarter inch foot on the machine. I sew a seam on a house and, WITHOUT BREAKING THE THREAD, sew a blue and white square together. Then I cut the thread holding the house piece, add the next house piece, and sew that seam. And then another blue & white, and then another house, and repeat and repeat. Instead of cutting thread tails after every seam, I’m piecing a secondary quilt. This works and is easy and not at all confusing as long as your secondary quilt is very simple. My blue and white will eventually be a king-size quilt for my bed.
