I have never used a layer cake! How fun!!
I just love your fabric lines and I wish I could buy all of them but I have a budget that I have to stick to. 🙁 Would love to have that layer cake to make a quilt. Thanks for all of the your work. You have taught me a lot about quilting.
I work a lot with layer cakes. I’m starting to work more with fat quarters
I love layer cakes with all the variety of patterns in the coordinating fabrics!
I would love to win this layer cake! I love your quilt along projects and your YouTube videos! I never miss one!
I prefer half yard cuts, then fat quarters are my favorites. All fabric works for me.
I like fat quarters best because they are more versatile than other precuts but free is always better
I like fat quarter bundles! I love your Drawing Room Fabrics. Seeing you cut them this morning I fell in love with them!
I prefer fat quarter bundles and my second favorite is layer cakes. I would love to win this layer cake and join in this QAL!
Charm packs are a great way to make an Oh My Stars quilt quickly!
I like fat quarters1
I don’t think I have ever had a layer cake.
I like fat quarters and layer cakes.
My favorite precut is a fat quarter bundle, but I also really enjoy layer cakes as they are a more affordable option.
Your fabric is beautiful- as usual! Thank you for the opportunity to sew with it- I believe this new “What”s in Your Closet” is a perfect opportunity to use it.
Layer Cakes and Jelly Rolls are my fav precuts lately;)
I like layer cakes the best since they are so versatile. The can become charm or mini charms with no waste! Your Drawing room fabrics are beautiful!!
My favorite pre-cut is a fat quarter bundle, followed by a jelly roll. I’ve used 5 inch squares and 2 1/2 inch squares as well. Very versatile! I’d love to try 10 inch squares.
I have recently used charm packs in several projects. Definitely starting to love them.
All pre-cuts, but I like the options with Layer Cakes. I love fabric!:)
My favorite fabric precut is the fat quarter bundle as it allows a lot of versatility in what projects you can make. But I really want to make some layer cake quilts so would love to win your fabric layer cake. Thanks for all your quilty encouragement.
I love charm packs but I have way to many. Just try to buy fat quarters now.
I really like layer cakes or jolly bars, they give me just enoigh fabric to make a sofa size quilt without a ton of leftovers.
Fat quarters are my favorite pre-cut. I am not a fan of jelly rolls or layer cakes because of the pinking sheers edge.
I love to buy charm packs because they are affordable. However, lately I have been buying layer cakes because they can be cut down into jolly bars and charm squares.
Charm packs usually as they are least priced and many patterns to choose from.
I like fat quarter bundles.
I love fat Quarters!
I’ve never bout one of these so l hope l will be able to manage it.
Love your Drawing Room fabric and hope I win your layer cake! Thank you for including us in your 10 year anniversary celebration.
layer cakes are so versatile. and there are so many patterns for them
I like to purchase fat quarters.
I LOVE Layer Cakes . They are so many ways to use them.
Cheers, maggie
I am excited about this quilt
Layer cakes are wonderful starting block for my creative quilting.
Favorite precut is probably Fat Quarters, they’re the ones I mostly buy. However, I’ve started to really like Layer Cakes too and picked up the Fat Quarter Shop’s “Perfect 10” book during their year end sale. I was influenced by seeing all the quilts you have made from it (and the current FB Ambassadors SAL). I look forward to trying to make a few so was excited when you announced this Giveaway!
My favorite pre-cuts are layer cakes, especially for charity quilts. One package makes a good size quilt for the children’s home in our area.
I love and have a pretty big collection of fat quarters
I rarely (never) can afford it but fat quarter bundles would be my favorite in my dreams realistically I get layer cakes.
I use a lot of jelly rolls but love later cakes for disappearing 9 patch quilts.
I love the Drawing Room fabric and would love a layer cake!
Fat quarter bundles are my favorite precuts. You can do so much with them!!
Hi Pat! You ask a hard question about favorite precuts… guess it depends on the project. I like fat quarter bundles, layer cakes, and jelly rolls the best. There are so many patterns they work with. I believe your Drawing Room fabric is the best yet. I learned something watching you this morning about fabric selection. I wouldn’t have chosen the fabric you put in the corners but it is spot on when you showed it sewn together. Thanks again for the lessons you teach.
Oh yes, that blue in this Drawing Room line would make a beautiful door hanger. Yes, yes………a layer cake would be wonderful, too.
I usually prefer fat quarters, but buy charm packs if they are irrestible. 😁 I notice a lot of patterns use layer cakes often.
I really like fat quarters- they give a lot of options. I have been buying 1/2 yd. Bundles recently.
I love layer cakes and your drawingroom fabric.
I have never used a layer cake . Would be a good time to use on perfect 10.
I like them all, but I find that FQ Bundles and Jelly rolls are the one I use most
I use all of the pre-cut’s in my quilting so would really love to win a layer cake of your newest fabric line Drawing Room.
What a great give away. Drawing Room is my favorite of your fabric lines – but of course your most recent always seems to be my favorite. Fat quarters are my favorite just because they offer more options in how they are used. Jelly rolls are probably my second favorite.
