since I am a controlled scrappy quilter, I would construct a few first and decide how my fabrics/colors are working together before I cut any more. Depending on how much cutting for each block or any other project I am working on simultaneously, I might just do a few star blocks at a time... If I have chosen a pattern with specific fabrics, then I cut the whole project and put them in bags labeled like my Antler's Design "Falling Stars."
