I haven't had much time to cut puzzles, but I did manage to finish the attached puzzle as a birthday gift for my sister in law, who is a native born Hawaiian. The puzzle is about 10x7 and has approx 150 pieces. I'm not totally comfortable yet cutting small pieces and my piece sizes seem to have settled around 1" or a little bigger. I find that my hooks aren't very good if I cut much smaller than that...

I love it! I like your cutting style, it seems very consistent. Also, nice picture choice. Very colorful.
What I found with my own cutting is that the more my cutting progressed, the smaller my pieces got, unintentionally. I'm sure you'll find that "happy place" for puzzle piece size.
