With fabric being 42-45" wide its hard to use it efficiently. What I do is get 4 pieces from each width. They will be between 10 1/2 and 11 ' wide. Then I add a few inches and send 20 - 22" long. This way I don't have any wastage. I get 20 pieces out of 2 3/4 yards 100" fabric. (10 1/2 " wide x 20 " long) This helps, especially if you are using stash fabric and don't have more than 3 yards or are on a tight budget. I do try to be meticulous about straight of grain when cutting.

As usual I've got a lot of projects going but I love playing with boom fabric so I can't resist joining. I look forward to Boom23.
