I prefer layer cakes.
I love to use layer cakes. So many patterns that the design showcases the print pattern on the fabric. Also I like I donât have leftovers in some patterns Iâve used.
I keep yardage of my favorite colors as well as precuts in all sizes. I can’t pass up a good fabric sale. I’ve had lots of rainy days lately.
sounds good!
Fat quarters for me. more choices of how to use the fabric!
My favorite is charm packs. I also use layer cakes. love the line
I bought the Perfect 10 book without knowing what to make. After watching you, Pat, I am excited to start at least one of the quilts from the book. Thank you for sharing with us!
I would love to receive a bundle of your fabric, especially the Drawing Room line. It is so elegant!
I like Jelly rolls and if I can buy yardage with it–yeah! I can play and create something beautiful.
Fat quarters and layer cakes are my favorite precuts!
My favorite precuts are charm packs or jolly bars! Love making oh my stars and disappearing nine patches!
Thanks Pat!
Donna Mensing
I generally donât buy precuts except for individual fat quarters. Recently, because I have to shop online, I have bought some charm packs so that I could see each fabric before I commit to purchasing yardage.
Beautiful fabric and I especially love the blues. I really like the options you get with layer cakes. Thanks!
I love a fat quarter bundle! But really anything that has the whole fabric line makes me happy!
I am just starting to get into using precuts and would love to own & sew with one of your layer cakes!
Iâm a fat quarter personâșïž-fabric and body!
Live Bernatex
Layer cakes are my favorite precut!!!! Layer cakes are easy to store – the store standing or laying flat, they donât take up a lot of room. I know I can make a good size quilt from a layer cake. Also if you have a pattern that calls for a jolly bar, charms or mini charms – you have all these in a layer cake!!! Win-win!!!!!

I love this line of your fabric. It is perfect to use a pattern from the book.
Drawing Room layer cake- would love to create a quilt with this giveaway! Beautiful designs to create a quilt!!
That is a hard choice to make, it really depends on what I’m making. Table runners and coaster 2.5 squares. I love charm packs and jelly rolls also. But my I really LOVE 10 inch squares the most. Your new fabric line Drawing Room is stunning!
Layer cake! So versatile and affordable.
I love all the precut fabrics. I have been buying mostly the fat quarter bundles.
I also love your fabric, I have some of your sleepover fabrics, bird song, would love to have the precut
Layer cake Drawing room fabrics. Thanks Pat for all your suggestions and support.
Fat Quarters are my favorite precut. I LOVE today’s block by the way!
I enjoy using both fat quarters and layer cakes since they are so versatile. Just love the Drawing Room fabric line.
I like the FQs
I like all the sizes but honestly, the most easy to work with and a go to is the 2.5″ squares in all the prints and colors. They are so versatile! No cutting! and you can pop them all over a quilt!
I’m excited with this give-away as I love this fabric. I prefer fat quarter bundles, but can’t afford them always, so my next choice is layer cakes. Thank you for all your videos.
I like layer cakes for their versatility in so many patterns.
Layer cakes are my favorite quick quilt pre-cut fabric. Use them a lot
in this short on time days.
Layer cakes are my current favorite precut size. Fat quarters are a close second particularly for larger projects.
I’ve used them all .. Fat Quarters and Layer Cakes mostly if I’m not using full yards … I’m a bit of a “Fabricolics.”
Layer Cakes have become my favorite lately beings my bins are overflowing with larger fabric!!
I love the layer cakes as they are easy to add to depending on the pattern. But then I am known to purchase all sizes depending upon what my current project may be.
Layer cakes are my favorite. You can cut them up to make other precuts.
I love your Drawing Room fabric and would be thrilled to win the layer cake! Thank you for all you share. I have learned so much from watching you. Your sense of color placement is always spot on and itâs a treat to see how your blocks turn outâŠalways beautiful!!! Thank you again for the chance to win!
For a long time all I bought were fat quarters and jelly rolls. Now Iâm in love with layer cakes and charm packs
I would love to win the 10 inch squares. I really like the blues in it.
Charity quilting is my love and to have this collection of fabric would make my day! I’m already thinking of what pattern to use should I just happen to win! All the best & thanks for hosting this give-a-way!
I love fat quarter bundles the best!
Love layer cakes fabrics. Thank you for the chance to win
My favorite pre=cuts are layer cakes and fat quarters. I guess it depends on the pattern.
I tend to gravitate to fat quarter bundles but then donât want to break them apart and use them. Oh, my!
Beautiful Layer Cake fabric
I think it all depends on the project for the precuts- I like all of them, but charm packs are a go-to and fat quarter bundles extend the versatility. Thank you for the opportunity!
Precuts of all kinds are my favorite. I just reorganized my sewing room and swore off any more new fabric⊠yours is so beautiful I could not resist entering this contest. What is one more, if I win, lol! Thanks Pat, you are the best and I look forward to seeing you every day.
I like fat quarters because you can get them as individuals. they are great for smaller projecrs.
Thank you for this. Love layer cakes. đ§”đ§”đ§”
I like Jelly rolls!
