A design wall is a "must" if you want to see your blocks in a bigger perspective. A piece of batting is very effective. The blocks stays on the batting without pinning, and you can move them around as you like.

Chain piecing is a method I use a lot when I'm sewing a lot of blocks. To save thread and avoid "bird nest" on the back, I put a little piece of fabric in the machine before I remove my blocks. That way I don't have to cut the thread all the time.

When I have many block that are alike, I put
them on the wall, and when I like the placement of the different fabrics
and colors, I put one block at a time between the pages in a magazine.
Then I can start sewing, taking one block out at a time.

Who likes to rip long seams up when you sew wrong? I
use a moustache clipper. I pin the block that I have to rip up to my
ironing board, and start the moustache clipper. I doesn't rip the fabric,
only the thread. I pick up the thread with painters tape rolled around
two fingers.
