You can wash pre-cuts in lingerie bags - I do that because the chemicals on the fabrics bother my fingernails. I also use a salad spinner for the 5 x 5 cuts. And I love buying a collection of fat quarters for the variety.
Do you know what kind of quilt you intend to make? My very first quilt was just the basic patchwork squares so I could work on matching my corners. It also help learning to cut accurate squares. And it goes very fast.
Let me know some of your interests, I may be able to share some of my stash. Send me a PM if you are interested.
