I love the fabric. Would love to do another layer cake quilt.
Recently used layer cakes and now I’m looking for more layer cake patterns. I did buy the perfect 10 book.
I really like fat quarter bundles best. But all fabric is something love.
I love layer cakes because there is usually JUST ENOUGH for a quilt…no more adding to the enormous stash I already have! Thank you, Pat!
I would have to say that I still prefer to buy yardage. Half yard or yard bundles would be preferred simply because I really do like to fussy-cut part of the designs to really use the artwork that was put into the print. This just is not possible when you start with random pieces. That being said, if I needed solid colors, a layercake or fat-quarter bundle would probably work well.
Love all the precuts. While I purchase 5in charm packs the most; my favorite is the layer cake.
Jelly roles are my favorite precut.
I love layer cakes! Such a variety of fabric and a very useful size. Love the Perfect 10 book!!
layer cake has become my favorite at this time, was just cutting one up this morning.
I prefer fat quarters over other pre-cuts.
Hi Pat! My favorite precut is the FQ, you can do so much with it. Congratulations again on your 10 years…
My favorite precut are layer cakes because I can always cut them smaller. Jelly rolls are a fast sew for our Guild Charity Quilts too!
Fantastic give-a-way! Love ya Pat!
What a beautiful line! A layer cake is perfect to make a quilt!
I would love to receive the Benartex layer cake fabric! Blue is my color!
My favorite precut is layer cake. So convenient to make from and little waste. Thank you for the giveaway.
Fat quarters are great for samplers done with a complete fabric but I really love how much you can do with a layer cake!
Hello I never owned a print like this not to mention a layer cake.i so would like to make the quilt block as well with it
Fat quarters are great for samplers done with a complete fabric but I really love how much you can do with a layer cake!
I like fat quarters. I can get many varieties for less money and do so much with them
I like fat quarters best because it allows for more diversity in quilting projects by having more fabric than the other smaller pre-cuts.
My favorite pre-cut would be fat quarters. I do have some layer cakes and a lot of charm packs. Sometimes I just can’t resist buying beautiful fabrics no matter what size they are.
Fat quarters are my preferred pre-cut. Would love to win a layer cake
My favorite pre-cut was the 5″ (charm) square, but now I find I gravitate to the 10″ layer cakes.
Love layer cakes!!
Fat quarters give me room for error. Pattern usually determines what I buy.
Fat quarters are my favorite, but will take any fabric!
I like sewing with fat quarters or jelly rolls.
Precuts for the quickest get to the sewing ! Any and all but fat quarter bundle for the whole line is best! Lol
Love the pattern and colors of the layer cake. I like using layer cakes as often as possible.
Fat quarter bundles!
I would love to have the layer cake! It’s such a nice size and very usable! Especially your gorgeous fabric line!
I loved buying jelly rolls, but now with all the different patterns for 5″ and 10″ squares, I like buying fat quarters for more options in using fabrics.
Fat quarters or yardage is my favorite but it does depend on the pattern.
I like layer cakes and fat quarters.
I love precut 10 inch squares! I just bought the Perfect 10 book. That would come in handy!💕
I love your fabric line. I like layer cakes and fat quarter bundles both.
Fat quarters are the most versatile precuts but I also love jelly rolls.
I love Jelly Rolls for their colorful beauty. Unfortunately, I am less apt to use them in a quilt and opt for decorating wtih them instead. For ease of use, I prefer fat quarters. I am more likely to cut into a fat quarter for a project than any other size precut.
I love your fabrics. These colors are beautiful!
I’d love to make something with them
I really love fat quarters. They are easy to store and when I buy collections they look so pretty on the shelf. You can make all the different cuts from them, too.
If I want a quick project, layer cake or Jelly roll is my go to. If it’s something larger that I can take time on, a Fat quarter bundle is nice!
For some reason I tend toward layer cakes. I think because it’s a good sized piece of the print, and more affordable than fqs. Thank you for the chance to win your elegant drawing room fabrics!
I often choose a layer cake. So many options for designs when using a layer cake. It’s fun, easy, and gives a WOW factor almost every time.
Love you fabric designs.
I enjoy fat quarters for the variety and they are easy to store for projects.
I love fat quarter bundles, but usually purchase a layer cake along with just to make sure I have enough.
I really like Fat Quarters and Layer cakes. Thank You!
My go-to precut has been jelly rolls, since I use a lot of patterns based on 2.5″ sizing
Depends, if you look in my closet, you would think ten inch squares. If you look at the quilts I’ve made, I have made more jelly roll quilts then layer cake quilts. And, currently I am working on two quilts using fat quarters. So today I am going to say fat quarters. 🤣
