So I posted pictures of my new fabric, and finally decided on a pinwheel quilt. I think I am going to like this. Each block will have a brown border, Then I will add in squares of the fabric used in the quilt at the intersection of each strip.

The more layers, the more likely the fabric can shift slightly as you cut. I usually only cut 2 (but sometimes up to 4) layers at a time as I am unable to hold the ruler firmly enough to cut more without shifting.
It depends on what you can manage without getting that slight movement which can end up making a big difference to your block sizes or crooked cuts.
