I cut several at a time also.
Love scrappy quilts!
I have several patterns that I use alot and make notes as to how many strips I need for each. ex 3 1/2" for bow tie,4" for a mosaic,2" for a log cabin,5" for a tumbler and a dresden plate.
then I cut a strip of each size from a large stack of fabrics(at least 30 different prints)
It goesn much faster this way as you are handling the fabric once not 6 times
