I would think it would be nice to have all those hexagon fabric and paper pieces already cut out and in a pouch, ready to English paper piece. I recently cut my small scraps of fabric up into 2" squares, and am hand piecing nine patches. I have never tried hand piecing before, and am really surprised at the pace at which I am progressing, because I keep the small bag of pieces in my purse and get a bit done at lunch time, while waiting at the doctor's office, at night time while watching tv, etc. Good luck to you!
