Wow I would love the layer cake material. Thanks heaps for your video’s
I’ve have not purchased a layer cake, I normally buy yardage. Iwould love to try one.
I sew love Layer Cakes and all pre-cut my favorite items. Love Love!
If I canât manager a fat quarter bundle a layer cake is my choice. Working on several layer cake quilts now and they are making up so quickly with very little leftovers.
My first choice in pre-cuts would be fat quarters, followed closely by layer cakes. Of course any of them are a wonderful way to acquire every fabric in a particular line.
Love using layer cakes! Would be a great to try your Drawing Room fabric. Thank you for all your wonderful insight into fabric choices for different quilt designs.
To answer your question, my favorite precut size is a layer cake.
Would love to win some of your fabric – I love the latest designs – so pretty
My favorite pre-cut is the layer cake, followed closely by the charm pack. I have just ordered the Perfect 10 pattern book, so I would love to have a layer cake in your fabric line for one of the patterns featured in the book!
My Favorite precut is the fat quarter. I can get so much out of it.

I like Fat quarters. Never used a Layer Cake, but would sure like to try
I don’t use a lot of precuts but I like 1/2 yard and fat quarter bundles best. So many possibilities and always plenty of fabric.
I love a fat quarter bundle – it allows for so many optionsâŠ. But i typically use a charm pack or layer cake when i am looking for a quick project. Either way – i love that the fabrics already go togetherâŠ
All fabric is awesome. I have a ton of fat quarter bundles, layer cakes, charms, jelly rolls and even 2 1/2 inch squares. So much fun is to be had picking out patterns and deciding which pre cuts to use. Ya just canât go wrong.
Layer cake I’ll have a slice put me in. Liked the show today Keep up the good work.
No matter what I have on hand I don’t have what I need for a quilt along that I want to join. I think the fat quarter bundles or buying fat quarters should work for me.
I’m using a layer cake right now for a quilt, but I like the variety that you get with a fat quarter bundle.
Beautiful line. I love layer cakes
I use fat quarters most of the time. That way when I sub cut to 10″ or 5″ pieces I still have plenty left over to use again and again,
love fat quarters but i like others precut charm or jelly roll or cake layer.
I love all different cuts of fabric, while fat quarters are my favorite I have used layer cakes in several quilts Iâve made.
My go-to fabric is a fat quarter bundle, but I really like layer cakes as well.
Love the drawing room and all your fabrics. I just ordered the perfect 10 book, this would be fantastic!
I love FQ bundles. So versatile and I like them for stash building my favorite designers.
I have several books that this beautiful layer cake would look good in! I do like me a good layer cake! I have a friend that would think the Drawing Room line of fabric would be lovely in her house. I have been looking for a fabric for her!
I’ve been using layer cakes a lot lately, I would love to try a pattern with Drawing Room. Thak you Benartex and Pat.
Thanks, Pat and Benartex, for offering this layer cake giveaway! I love Drawing Room and would love to play with these precuts.
Layer cakes are my favorite precut.
My latest projects were created from layer cakes and I was thrilled how they went together. I have a âBirdSongâ layer cake awaiting my inspiration. My next project (sharing time with your calendar) will use charm packs for Oh My Stars. I would love to learn more about fabric design pairing and I think your Drawing Room layer cake would help.
My favorite precut is the fat quarter. I like that it’s larger and more versatile and not as bulky at handle as a yard.
Actually, I love any size of coordinated fabric. I stink at putting colors together, so I love the work already done for me đ
Fat quarters are very versatile,, but every Pre-Cut is fun to work with!
My favorite cut of fabric is the fat quarter. They give me lots of fabric options when making scrappy quilts. However, I do have all cuts in my stash.
Another great give away! My favorite size of precut is a fat quarter bundle. It allows me to make a good sized quilt with the addition of a background fabric and maybe 1 to 3 fat quarters of solids.
I like using precuts. My favorite would be the layer cakes.
I love most precuts but have more fat quarters than anything. That said, I use up my layer cakes on lots of projects!
Fat quarters are nice to use.
Love all the options but a layer cake is my favorite!
My favorite is fat quarters and jellyrolls
Oh wow I love all the pre-cuts, fat-quarters, layer cakes, jelly rolls, and any of the bundles are great! I am in heaven with pre-cuts, it makes a project so much easier when you don’t have to cut fabric!!!
Iâd love to win the Drawing Room fabric to go with the new QAL!
I buy a lot of layer cakes but my most favorite is 1/2 yard cuts I then feel I have plenty to complete a quilt with out scrimping.
I love layer cakes! there are so many fun and free patterns for a quick quilt.
Layer cakes and fat quarters are my favorite.
Fat Quarter is my first choice for pre-cuts. I prefer yardage.
your drawing room fabric from Benartex looks scrumptious! Love your fabricâ€ïžâ€ïž
I like layer cakes for their versatility.
Fat quarters are my jam. Next in line layer cakes. You can cut it up and make a Oh My Stars!your new line is so beautiful. Trying to find a patten to make it before buying.
I love the variety of fat quarters and jelly rolls.
Pat
Enjoy sewing with Layer Cakes. Your Drawing Room Fabrics are very pretty
