Sample blocks/sections, red and white efficiencies

I have been working on several red and white designs in my sketch book and put several to fabric. If I have my red fabrics out I like to be efficient in my time and fabric use, so having plans for cutting makes sense.
I used Kona Snow for the white in all these.

For the above samples, I am cutting
L upper (Single rail fence): 3 1/2 by 5 inche rectangles  (will need setting triangles down the road) (white 2 by 5 inches)
R upper (Patience corner): 3 1/2 inch squares (white 3 1/2 by 1 1/2 and 4 1/2 by 1 1/2)
R center (Lower-case alphabet) 2 inch squares (white lengths of 2 inch strips)
R lower (Framed square) 3 1/2 inch squares, 5 1/2 inch squares, setting trinagles overcut from 5 inch strips, corner triangles from 5 1/2 inch strips (white 3 1/2 by 1 1/2 and 5 1/2 by 1 1/2)
L lower (Ladder): 4 1/2 by 2 1/2 inch rectangles (white 4 1/2 by 1 1/2 inches)

In addition from the red I cut 2 1/2 inch squares and 2 1/2 inch half-square triangles for projects down the road. This cleans up scraps from cutting the setting and corner triangles for on-point quilts.
I cut lots of 2 inch squares as I have a double 4-patch in mind. 

I cut off of short cuts or fat quarters. If the yardage is larger than a fat-quarter I tear off a 11 inch piece to cut from. (Why 11 inches? My ruler is 12 inches.)

I cut up small scraps to 1 1/2 by 2 1/2 rectangles and 1 1/2 inch squares so no little scraps go back into my red fabric bins.

SO, my cutting sessions are:
Squares
5 1/2, 3 1/2, 2 1/2, 2. 1 1/2
Rectangles
3 1/2 by 5, 2 1/2 by 4 1/2, 1 1/2 by 2 1/2
Triangles
over-cut triangles for setting and corner triangles, 2 1/2 inch using easy-angle

Ready for ideas in the future:
Red patches cut to size in their own bins.

120 blocks
Block finishes 10 inches
Block and unit directions are HERE.

I layed out the 4-block units, alternating A and B units.
Sewed into A over B and B over A sets of 8, then into 3 rows.
Almost everything nests.

My construction design variation of a traditional pattern. Use at your pleasure.

alphabet i (9), lower case

Started a new alphabet for the new year.
This one is based on a couple of cross stitch graphs that I found on Pinterest that do not have working links. 

Making it with a 2 inch cut, 1 1/2 inch finished grid. Reds are cut 2 inches square. White (Kona Snow) is cut into lengths to fit grid

My notes for cutting the white pieces from 2 inch strips:
Squares    Cut        Finish
1                2           1  1/2
2                3 1/2     3
3                5           4 1/2
4                6 1/2     6
5                8           7 1/2
6                9 1/2     9
7               11          10 1/2
8               12 1/2    12
