Today our Block Wednesday kicks off.. woohoo! If you are out of the loop somehow, I run a FREE Block Wed Quilt alongs several times a year. I have been doing this Block wed for almost for many many years now.
Each Wednesday a new simple block comes out and i have a theme, and often stories, for the Quilt Along. Block #1 below and more details at the project page.

I love the fat quarters bundle. You can do so much more with it. Would love to win and sew along on this one.
My favorite pre-cut now thats a hard one. It would be a toss up between a fat quarter bundle and a layer cake. If I had to choose one I guess I would choose a fat quarter bundle.
I love watching your videos and wonder how you keep your rulers from slipping. It is so frustrating to cut fabric and have the ruler move on me
How fun to hear Clifton Forge on your video. I used to live there and loved it.
I love your drawing room fabric and wish I could win it. It’s sooo pretty
I find fat quarters the most versatile of the precuts… & such a happy sight when seeing them stacked on my shelves! Can never have enough 😉
I like layer cakes.
I buy a lot of precuts and love using them for my projects. This would be an additional treat to win this layer cake bundle. Love watching your tutorials. I have learned so much from watching you!
My favorite is the fat quarter bundle but jelly rolls are fun to use also.
I love the using fat quarters, so many ways to cut them. But I have many of the other precuts also. What can I say I love fabrics.
Would love to win a layer cake. I have used them before and really like how they go together.
A fat quarter bundle is my favorite type of precut. I’m enjoying your anniversary month! Congratulations again!
I like layer cake squares the best. I also like fat quarter bundles for bigger projects.
I like fat quarter bundles and jelly rolls. They help me so much with color choices and also there are a lot of patters that are fat quarter and jelly roll friendly. 😁
I would love to be able to afford a fat quarter bundle but layer cakes and individual fat quarters are my favorite.
I think I’d have to say fat quarters mainly because of my budget. I’m so excited about Block Wednesday ty
Love your Drawing Room fabric. Thank you Pat for the layer cake giveaway!
Thanks Benartex!
I love fat quarters and layer cakes. Love the colors and designs in your Drawing Room line. Thanks for all you do Pat!
I prefer Fat Quarters because they are more versatile.
It seems I am working more often with jelly rolls right now. In the beginning it was fat quarters. I actually love it all!
My favorite size is fat quarter or 1/2 yd. as I like to pre-wash my fabrics.
Love fat quarters very versatile!
I love fat quarter bundles the best, but use layer cakes, jelly rolls and charm packs too!
I love layer cakes. The assortment is fun to play with.
The layer cake is my favorite precut. You can make a large quilt with added background fabric. I hope I win . I love your Drawing Room Fabric!!!
I love fat quarters but I will buy a layer cake usually because they are less expensive.
I’d love to try a layer cake. I usually use yardage but like the variety of precuts
I love layer cakes! Sew versatile!
I like fat quarter bundles.
I prefer yardage over precut, because then you can cut whatever size you need, so for precuts I’d have to go with fat quarters.
Fat Quarters are probably the most versatile but I think I’ve used more layer cakes than anything else! Its a great way to get the whole fabric line without breaking the quilting budget!!
Your fabric line is beautiful. 10” squares are so versatile.
I love fat quarters and yardage.
My favourite precut is a fat quarter bundle or jelly roll strips.
My favorite pre-cut is the fat quarter bundle. There is usually enough fabric to make a big beautiful quilt!
Benartex has lovely fabric & I like Drawing Room! I usually get fat quarters from the shops but I love layer cakes to travel with. Thanks for this chance!
I would love having the layer cake of drawing room fabric. I have used a couple of my layer cakes in quilts recently and have been pleased at the ease and look. I usually use fat quarters and had neglected my stash of layer cakes.
I like fat quarter bundles but my budget likes layer cakes!
Today it’s jelly rolls because that’s what I’m using now.😊 I like to collect different precuts and have at the ready for a pattern I find that I just have to make. Then I can gat yardage to go with it and don’t feel like I’m spending so much😂!
my fave precut is a jelly roll or maybe a fat quarter.
Beautiful Layer Cake
Thank you
I love layer cakes because you can get so many different precut sizes from them!
I’ve been using mainly charm parks but have several layer cakes to use. One with a plan & one without.
A Jelly roll is my favorite precut because there are so many ideas for using them .
I love layer cakes and jelly rolls. They save me so much time. Thanks for being you!!!
I love cake and especially layer cakes! Lol
I like a fat quarter bundle but have never really tried the other sizes.
How exciting to win a layer cake bundle. I have seen several patterns using them and I am eager to try one.
I love the fat quarter bundle.
Hi Pat. I love bernartex! & layer cakes are great. So easy to store & pack for a trip!
