this is my issue lol... i usually cant cut more than 1 or 2 at a time, because im too anxious to start sewing and see how it looks with the fabrics i chose and decide how many of my own screw ups to take out 1 at a time, so i dont have to fix them all at once lol
also found chain piecing is ideal for me as a beginner... it helps with hst and 4 patch alot... as long as my seams are str8, i cut down to size after each component is made lol
