I don't have a lot to 'store' cut for patterns, I only have one going at a time, but at times it takes a while to get to that part of the pattern, so that is why I have the cut pieces 'stacked and stored'.

This is my process: I buy all of the fabric for a pattern that I am planning, and then store the fabric all together in my cabinet. I may have up to 5 or 6 of these in my cabinets, waiting for when I'm ready to make them. Then, once I am ready to start a quilt pattern, then I cut all of the fabric that I stored for that quilt, that is needed for the entire quilt. I then label the cut fabric pieces as to how many and what they are, and then put them in labeled piles, or bags and then into one container. Then I pull out the next cut piece to work on, as per the pattern. I don't make one square at a time. I do a lot of chain stitching. Once I get two of my cut pieces put together, then I lay them out on my work tables in groups of 5 or 10. Then when I pick out the next piece to add, I chain piece them to the existing piles, keeping the groups (of 5 or 10) together in a stack. Ironing when needed/required, before picking up the next stack of 5 or 10 to chain piece the cut onto them. Here is an example of what my work process looks like.
