Fat quarters are what I use most, but I do have several layer cakes to use. What a perfect way to acquire some of Pat’s fabric to sew along with her.
I donât often buy precuts but when I do they tend to be 1 layer cake with no project in mind which then leads to not having enough fabric by the time I find a pattern.
My favorite cut of fabric is layer cakes. And also Jelly Rolls. I find them easy to manipulate and not a lot left overs.
My favorite precut is fat quarter or half yard. They cost more so I’m forced to cut down the number to those Ireally want and they have enough fabric to make a good size quilt.
I like layer cakes because the bigger squares show off more of the fabric. Your Drawing Room pattern and colors are beautiful!
Unfortunately, I love most fabrics. Like the texture, the feel and look of fabric and fat quarters are real neat and charm squares for specific, smaller projects.
I like fat quarters since I struggle to put fabrics together, the bundles help me.
Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Love a layer cake! Congrats!
I like fat quarters best followed by charm packs. Iâm still a beginner quilter so the fat quarters make it easier for my colors. The charms are just great since I donât have to do all that cutting and matching colors on a charm quilt is so much simpler.
I enjoy watching your daily videos because you teach so much, you have such great ideas and you are such a joy to watch. Iâm looking forward to the day I can make fancier quilts. đ„°
Layer cakes are my favorite.
I love fat quarters but would love to try the layer cake since Iâve never worked with one. Thank you.
I love layer cakes. You get at least one of every design
Oo, oo, I love me a fat quarter bundle! I’m just always afraid to cut into it. Ha! This is a wonderful 10 year celebration for you Pat Sloan.
I love sewing with layercakes and l would love using your beautiful Drawing Room layer cake in a project. Thank you to Benartex to whoever is lucky and wins this layer cake.
I LOVE layer cakes & I especially like this one! Hope my name is drawn. Thanks for all you do for us quilters. Angelia
I love fat quarters the best. But layer cakes are a close second.
I love layer cakes!
When I started quilting you either bought yardage or fat quarters. I have no idea what all sizes precuts come in, but I’m open to any size fabric! Would love to add something new to my stash.
Pat, I would love to make a quilt with your fabric. You design beautiful fabrics. I would love to win a layercake of your Drawing Room fabric
I would love to win this, I watched Pat this morning and it looks so beautiful.
Thanks
Beautiful fabrics!!!! My go to precut purchase is fat quarters, but I do seem to purchase a lot of layer cakes.
LOVE Layer Cakes!! They have many uses!! I would love to win this bundle!
I love all precuts, but have enjoyed layer cakes lately
Thatâs such a beautiful layer cake. Thank you for giving it away.
My favorite pre-cut is charms, they make stitching go so much faster and make my seams look better. Benartex fabrics pre-cuts aid in making this happen.
AS I get ready to turn 50 tomorrow on the 25th I found myself loving this color pallet more and more I still like the brights but I love the creams browns blues the tones from the civil war the more muted ones I guess you would say I have finely decided though that I am going to use the Anne of Green Gables if I win this I am going to use it for my first perfect 10 quilt
Ironically, my favorite is layer cake then second is fat quarters. Thanks and very excited for your anniversary.
My favorite precut is a fat quarter, usually a bundle!
My favorite is a fat quarter bundle as it gives me more opportunity for uses.
I love layer cakes because you can cut them into Charm Squares or make your own Jolly Bars.
Beautiful fabrics! Fat quarters give a lot to work with!
I make a lot of charity quilts, so I use whatever comes my way. 3-yard quilts are also fun to do.
Fatquarters are my favorite precut!
I really like charm packs. So much fun to play with.
I like the layer cakes. So many options and if I decide I really love a fabric in the cake, I buy yardage of that one.
Wow what a great fabric line. Drawing room is a new favorite.
Congratulations on 10 years
enter me in the drawing for the layer cake please. The Drawing Room fabric is gorgeous
Love the giveaways
I love fat quarters, but layer cakes are a favorite as well.
I like layer cakes but also fat quarters
A variety of Fat Quarters!
I love fat quarter bundles Will pick those first then layer cakes
I like them all, but fat quarter may be my favorite. Happy 10th!! Thanks
I’m just gaga over the large floral from Drawing Room. I would have to say I love fat quarters. The smaller precuts make me nervous because I’m often afraid of miscutting. What do I do if I screw that up? Fat quarters are great in case you have an “oops” moment.
I love both Layer CAkes and Fat Quarter bundles!!
Oh love layer cakes and the Benartex Drwaing Room is beautiful!!
Fat quarters are my favorite. Layer cakes in whites or neutrals (on sale!) would be a runner up.
I favor Layer Cakes but charms are nice for small projects.
I like FQ bundles the best, but Layer Cakes are a great way to experience the fabric line at a more affordable price point. There are so many great patterns you can do with Layer Cakes. Best of luck everyone!
Love me a Layer Cake! Maybe because I work in a bakery??
