From looking at my precut stacks – I like fat quarters when working on quilts. I really like 10″ squares – that might be my favorite – works for quilts and embroidery projects! I’m starting to collect a very limited, special fabric with a project in mind only, jelly rolls. Yes – 10″squares and fat quarter bundles!
Charm packs for me!
Layer cake. Makes Oh My Stars easier!
My favorite is fat quarters. I have been buying charms lately. I want to add that I love the blues with the nuetrals in this line.
I love fat quarter bundles.
I like layer cakes!
A layer cake bundle of your fabric would be a real treat to win…I have the Perfect 10 book so would love to sew one of the quilts with your fabrics…
Layer cakes and jelly rolls are my favorites. I have some difficulty working with yardage due to arthritis.
My favs are layer cakes!!

I have a TON of layer cakes but I’m finding FQs are my favorite!
I like fat quarters best. Can get a lot of sizes out of them and several uses for bigger projects.
I love your fabric line. would love to have a reason to make another quilt. 🙂

in the past i have collected charm pack and jelly rolls(a TON of charm packs lol) but lately i have gotten more into layer cakes and fat quarter bundles
I love fat quarter bundles and layer cakes. The Drawing Room fabric is gorgeous!
My go-to precuts are fat quarters. After that, I choose layer cakes.
My favorite is the fat quarter bundle, followed by jelly roll, and then layer cake.
I am always afraid with a layer cake that I will have a mis-cut and then not be able to finish a block or quilt.
I love layer cakes, but all of the precuts are cute and huge time savers!
I like layer cakes but depends on the pattern sometimes you just need more yardage so Fat quarters is a 2nd pick. Your drawing room fabric is so pretty..
I would love to have a layer cake of your Drawing Room fabric.
I was just introduced to fat quarter bundles, love them!
I really like fat quarter pre cuts and layer cakes. I would love to win your drawing room fabric layer cake. Thank you Pat!

I like the Fat Quarter bundles..My second choice is a layer cake.
I would love your drawing room fabric, it is beautiful. I have so many ideas on what I would make with it. I love your videos, I watch every day.
When I buy precuts, I generally buy Charm Packs.
I love layer cakes. See together add a few borders and boom a great quilt.
I love all the precuts, but I tend to buy fat quarter bundles or layer cakes.
Fat quarter bundles are my favorite, but I love the convenience and versatility of a layer cake.
I really like Fat Quarters but have started using Layer Cakes. Love your designs ~!~
Fat quarter bundles are my go-to. I’m not confident in color selection so I love that the bundles are already grouped with colors and prints that go together.
I like layer cakes, though I have used jelly rolls. Layer cakes give me more options in how I use them.
I love layer cakes and I love your Drawing Room fabric! Congratulations on your 10th anniversary! I’m hoping I get to celebrate with a free layer cake!🤞
I love layer cakes!!
I love getting fat quarters
LOVE fat quarter bundles, but they are getting pretty expensive. If I want a variety to choose from, I will now purchase Layer Cakes, then add things from my stash. Thank you SO much for all of these wonderful give away🥰🥰.
Congratulations on 10 years. Scrap quilting is my thing, so smaller is better for a wide variety.
I LOVE DRAWING ROOM! IT’S BEAUTIFUL <3
IT REMINDS ME OF THE VICTORIAN ERA WITH A MODERN FLARE 🙂
Fat quarter bundle for me!
I love fat quarters. Layer cakes are a close second. Not very picky about the size. I just love fabric and seeing what I can create with it.
Your Drawing Room fabric is beautifu. I would love to win this prize
Hey Pat, I like a good fat quarter bundle that has lovely coordinated fabrics to play with.
I like fat quarter bundles and layer cakes. There are many beautiful collections to choose from.
My favorite precut is fat quarters because you get more fabric and cutting options, next is layer cake.
I like a good FQ bundle now and then, but a layer cake of Drawing Room would be swell!
