I am also being a terrible person & marking the cutting lines with a fine point permanent marker (Bic Mark-it Ultra Fine Point if anyone cares), unless the fabric is too dark. Soooo much easier than faffing about with chalk or a washable fabric pen. It'll all be hidden by the piecing/lining anyway.

A piece of brown scrap fabric with five whole and one half hexagon shape marked on it. The lines are done in a fine black marker.

I went old school with a paper tally sheet too. Usually I'm all digital so I don't lose things, so this is a new one for me. Tally marks are each individual hexie, squares are each hundred. Even with only working on it when I feel like it/until my wrist hurts, I'm flying through the cutting out.

A piece of paper covered in tally marks and crossed out times. Each set of 25 tallies is circled in black. Every four sets of circled marks is crossed out as one unit in red. There are four small squares near the top of the sheet, and one half drawn square, representing each completed set of 100.
