I starch and iron all the fabric I think I'll need plus a little extra for miss cuts. I hang them up on a hanger so my ironing board is free for ironing seams when I get to the sewing part. I tend to cut for my borders too so I keep them on a separate hanger so I don't get them mixed up while cutting for the blocks. This keeps them flat and unwrinkled till I need them. My sewing room is int he basement with open rafters so I can put my hangers above on a stray nail from previous owners. When I starch my fabrics I do the same, hang them on hangers over the sink till they're just about dry and then iron them all at one time. This keeps my ironing board and cutting table basically free for cutting fabrics and keeping the instructions nearby. I have a design wall to arrange my blocks before stitching them together.
