Love the Drawing Room line
I like fat quarters
I like layer cake precuts. I can see the pattern/design and it’s easy enough to cut down into a charm pack if I need that too
My all time favorite pre cut has been charm packs for baby quilts and tote bags for gifts.
My favorite precuts are the layer cakes and jelly rolls. They are more versatile for the projects that I love to make. Of course I have lots of stash to pick from as well.
I’ve only used a jelly roll in my first quilt. But I love how you chose your fabric from a fat quarter bundle.
very pretty fabric
Precut fabrics are the best. This allows me to have a bigger fabric stash in my sewing room and who doesn’t want a hugh fabric stash!!!
Trying to build a collection of layer cakes. This one would certainly be a nice one to add.
I love all the precuts. I use all of them, depending on what pattern I’m making. I love how the prints and colors are already matched up in them.
I like all sizes depending on the pattern but I’ve never used a layer cake so this would be a great gift to be able to give it a try. Thanks for the chance to win!
Fat quarters are the most useful for me as I make larger quilts. But I do have several of the other pre-cuts, strips are wonderful for sashing.
Favorite Pre-Cut is fat quarters
My favorites are fat quarter bundles but I do like layer cakes for having a whole line when my money is short. There are so many great free patterns for layer cakes and if you need five inch squares a layer cake gives you four!
I love using any precut! Layer cakes are the best!
Pat, I love your drawing Room Fabric! It’s so beautiful in your Block Wednesday project!
My gi to is a fat quarter bundle. I will buy yardage to match.
I love pre-cuts of all kinds but my favorite is charm squares. Its fun to see what I can make out them.
I’d love this bundle of fabrics but I live in the UK, but if I could donate to my American friend then she would be so happy to receive this. Keeping fingers crossed 🙂
I like fat quarter bundles.
I’m pretty partial to layer cakes, but find more options with fat quarters.
I just bought the Perfect 10 book. It would be fantastic to make one of the quilts in your
Drawing Room fabric! So, pick me!
I use fat quarter bundles for most patterns so I know I will have enough.
My favorite precut is a layer cake. I feel I can slice the 10” square into a variety of shapes for patterns other than a layer cake patterns.
I find that I am drawn to fat quarter bundles and layer cakes.
My favorite pre-cut is a layer cake. It is very versatile as I can cut it into many different cuts. I can use it as:
4 charm packs
2 charm packs and 2 stacks of 2.5” strips
2 jolly bars or stacks of mini charms and 10” strips
And on and on. LOL
I love fat quarter bundles — you get several pieces of the fabric line.
I love using layer cakes . Your Drawing Room fabric is beautiful
I love the ft quarter bundles. But honestly any size fabric brings me joy, joy, joy!
Fat Quarter Bundles are great, but if I really love it I like to buy more than a yard!
I usually buy fat quarter bundles and additional yardage for the borders. I have been buying batiks lately, but I have a stash of everything.
Probably a charm pack, then a layer cake!! But of course I have LOTS of jelly rolls, too 🙂
I have not used fat quarters yet. I would love to win.
I think my favorite would be fat quarter bundles. They give you enough fabrics to make cohesive blocks.
I purchase layer cakes more than any other precut, but I’ve never met a precut I didn’t like!
My favorite precut size is Layer Cakes. I LOVE your Drawing Room line. It is so elegant.
I like all pre-cuts!
My favorite precut is a layer cake. There are usually duplicate pieces and I find these are sufficient for most of the patterns I use.
I have two favorites Layer cakes and Fat Quarter Bundles but I use them all. I already have a Fat Quarter Bundle of Drawing Room and would love the layer cake too
I like charm packs the best. I make donation baby quilts and the charms are just the right size for using my 4 1/2 inch tumbler die from AccuQuilt. Also, charms are quick and easy 1/2 square triangles and little 2 1/2″ squares.
I am loving the layer cakes. I had never used any pre-cuts until recently. It makes cutting so much easier. I get so much good info from your videos and the fb page. Thank you.
Fat quarter bundle! In drawing room lol 😂
I am a fan of fat quarters because of their versatility. I feel okay buying a quarter of that fabric just because I love it. Have a beautiful afternoon!
I like fat quarters best as they are more versatile, followed by layer cakes
I love the color combo of the drawing room fabric. I really love the big flower pronts
Another great giveaway. I would love to win this. I actually do need more fabric.
I enjoy and use fat quarters!
Love layer cakes 🙂
I like fat quarters but I also like the precuts. I think the charm packs are my favorite. I just made a cute wall hanging for my kitchen. Precuts make everything easy. Thank you!
I love how a layer cake gives you such a great selection of coordinating prints!
