thanks in advance...
What works best for me: Not pre-washing fabric before cutting strips (or starching fabric before cutting if I have prewashed).

Strip piecing the blocks.

I found that trying to pre-cut the pieces made progress frustratingly slow. My accuracy with starching and strip piecing is really good, so pre-cutting blocks too size is unnecessary for me.
