I really like a fat quarter. However, I’ve been known to use a lot of layer cakes in projects. It all comes down to the pattern.
Lately my go to pre-cut has been FQs..but I have used all sizes. Layer cakes jelly rolls and charm packs, which were my 1st foray into pre-cuts. Love the designs of your drawing room fabrics. So lovey, especially the large florals.
I’ve never had a layer cake I usually purchase yardage I would love to try a layer cake
Layer cakes are really versatile. I love using them.
Loving your Drawing Room fabrics! Would LOVE to win a layer cake of it! Thanks Pat!
I like all the precuts because I use them for different projects. My favorite would probably be the jelly roll.
My favorite precut is a fat quarter bundle, you can make so many things from them.
Thank you, Pat and Benartex for another 10 giveaway! I love both Fat Quarters and Layer Cakes for projects. Charms are great for Oh My Stars–and I have lots of Jelly Roll patterns that I want to try. How Perfect–10 years and 10″ squares of Pat’s fabric from Benartex.
I have way to many fat quarter bundles. It’s my favorite
I have used jelly rolls and charm packs. I believe I’d like to try fat quarter bundles, a little more to work with.
My favorite precut is a fat quarter bundle but my stash also includes layer cakes, jelly rolls, charm packs and mini charms.
My Favorite size of pre cuts is fat quarter bundle the jumbo size. That gives me more options to pick from.
My favorite precut is fat quarters, I like to do scrappy quilts so I can get a variety of prints and colors that way. I just want to say again how much I learn from watching all your videos.
I love fat quarters the best. But layer cakes are a close second!! Thanks, Pat!
I like fat quarter bundles. I feel like they are more versatile.
I love this layer cake. Your fabric is always beautiful. Thanks for all your videos.
Learned a lot this morning from how you chose your fabric. Excited for the colors virtual class.
There are such beautiful colors in this line. Love it💕
I almost always use yardage.I’m retired so have to watch my spending.
Wow, another great giveaway! I love layer cakes. I find that these days, I seem to have fewer leftovers if I buy one (or two) layer cakes and some yardage for borders and binding. Your Drawing Room line is gorgeous 🥰
I like to use a layer cake if I am making a quick quilt and doing mindless blocks that you can make and still talk to quilting friends!
my favorite precut is the layer cake. I feel I have more options and it showcases the fabrics better.
My favorite precuts are fat quarters and layer cakes. Your fabric is lovely.
A layer cake!!! Woohoo!
I’m into layer cakes, great choice for a newby such as myself.
Love love love layer cakes. Hope I win. Love you to Pat.
I would love, love, love to make a quilt using you fabric line.
That fabric is gorgeous. Thank you for opportunity to win.
I REALLY like the Drawing room fabric
I love working with any precuts but layer cakes I would have to say are my favorite. Your drawing room is so lovely!
Hmm, my favorite precut shifts back and forth between layer cakes and FQ bundles. It depends on what I’m working on and what is in my stash
I would love to have a layer cake of your line Pat.
Beautiful layer cake.
Fat quarter bundles by far, but if I don’t want quite that much or don’t have that much to spend, then a layer cake.
Your drawing room fabric is so pretty!!!
Enter me in contest
I love the drawing room fabric! What an awesome giveaway.
My favorite would be fat quarters, since it’s a variety of the material line, with larger pieces to work with.
I love these colours.
When I’m buying a fabric line I love to buy at least half yard bundle.
My favorite precut size is a fat quarter bundle. I like to be able to fussy cut.
I enjoy fat quarter bundles best. There’s enough of them to use in more than one block and you don’t have to worry about running out of a particular piece when you’re sewing quilt blocks! 🙂
Definitely the fat quarter bundle. It works so well for many types of patterns. However I do have every type in my stash!
I’ve made 2 layer cake quilts and would love to make another.
I like Fat Quarters
I usually use layer cakes, but also love fat quarters !
I LIKE 1/2 YARD BUNDLES BEST BUT IN ALL HONESTY I LIKE ALL PRECUTS THEY SAVE TIME ON SOME QUILTS EVERYTHING GOES TOGETHER I LIKE THAT
I like all fabric, hahaha. I have never used a layer cake, love jelly rolls.
I love fat quarter bundles!
I like fat quarters best, variety!
