Iâm really loving your fabric more and more each time you make something with it. Iâd love winning the Drawing Room fabric. Oh and I love this first block sew along you made today. Thank you!
Favorites, so hard to choose!! I guess Iâd have to say fat quarters, but I donât think thereâs a precut that I donât have!! Thanks for all you do for the quilting communityâŁïž
Love to use fat quarters on scrappy quilts but have used several layer cakes because of the variety it gives me.
I have all of the pre-cuts in my closet but like the fat quarter bundles best as I think they are more versatile than the others. I really like your drawing room fabric but especially the blacks and tans (I am not a blue fan) as they are moody and very rich looking.
Fat Quarters has always been my go to, more left for scraps.
I love all sizes of precuts. Guess the great thing is what you can use for what pattern at the time. Love the rich colors of your drawing room fabric. Great block this morning
Your drawing room fabric is so sophisticated! Thanks, Pat. I wake up with your videos each morning to start my day!
I usual buy fat quarters if I see a collection I love, then decide on a pattern, so the FQ becomes more versatile.
I prefer using layer cakes over the other precuts. I have found that even though a pattern may call for a jelly roll, depending on the sizes of the cuts, I can use a layer cake instead. I feel like I get more bang for my buck visually in a layer cake. The bigger pieces of fabric are more pleasing to the eye.
I love the drawing room fabric line. I missed out on the high tea quilt so this would be perfect. The colors all go so well with each other, I love it. Thank you
Hi, I would like to win the layer cake. I would like to have your fabric. I like the colors.
It is a hard choice, the layer cake my favorite, but the jelly roll is so much fun. Thank you for this opportunity,
It all just depends on what I am doing. I love Fat Quarter Bundles but I tend to use Layer Cakes and Charm packs more.
I would LOVE to win the wonderful Drawing Room layer cake. My favorite precuts are jelly rolls and layer cakes.
Love a fat quarter, followed by a layer cake!
I like layer cakes. They seem more versatile than other precuts. It depends on the pattern, too. I do love the Drawing Room line.
My favourite precut is fat quarter.
It has so much versatility for different patterns.
5″ squares and fat quarters are the only ones I’ve bought so far, I usually just buy yardage. would love to try the layer cake
Love layer cakes, charms and jelly rolls-so many patterns out there. The
Confetti Cake pattern great to use with Layer Cakes, no additional fabric needed (except binding and backing). Did purchase the Fat Quarter Shop’s “Perfect 10” book for future Layer Cake purchases.
My favorite precut is the fat quarter bundle. I love how I can see all the colors in the wrapped up stack!
I seem to have collected all the precut sizes but I prefer a fat quarter bundle when making a quilt.
I like the fat quarters the best. There is more versatility with them. I then go with the half yard cuts.
I like to use layers cakes to make blocks with would like to win the layer cake I like the drawing room fabric using it for what’s in your closet.
I love layer cake and would like to try this one. Thanks!
I mainly use fat quarter bundles. But do love layer cakes and charm packs as well.
I usually use yardage for my quilts but have bought fat quarters and layer cakes. Happy 10th.
I like fat quarters best. You get a variety and enough material to work with. I’m using a drawing room fat bundle for what’s in your closet.
I have the Perfect 10 book so now I need a layer cake!
I love these prints and in a fat quarter
Fat quarters are my favorite because I can get more variety since I prefer scrappy style quilts.
Definitely fat quarters. I never seem to know what to do with the others.
It seems like I have an abundance of jelly rolls but also like charms and fat quarters. Just finishing High Tea with the Drawing Room — may need to get a fat quarter of it.
Good morning and happy 10 year anniversary Pat! I’m so glad that I found your channel about 5 years ago. I start my mornings with you every day before going to work. Well, anyway, I love layer cakes and fat quarter bundles!
My favorite precut has changed over the years. Started with charm packs, then layer cakes, then jelly rolls and now it is fat quarters. I have always purchased fat quarters through the years, but they have become my favorite. I have more fabric to work with.
I like all sizes of precuts because the opportunities are endless. Charm packs have been my go to because they are more economical and you only need two to make an Oh My stars, which I am finally working on my first one, but I am now tending to lean towards one yard cuts to make three yard quilts for the charity quilts for our guild. Since I am burnt out on gifting quilts to family and friends, the charity sizes are my go to projects now. Thank you Pat for all you do for us.
I love Jelly Rolls because they are easy, and fun to use… but I also love Layer Cakes because they are so versatile and lend themselves to creating controlled scrappy quilts! I love Fat Quarters too… and mini charms are fun for making a quick table mat! It’s just too hard to choose!
Love drawing room fabric! Would love to win layer cake!!
I love layer cakes fabric
My favorite size for precuts is the fat quarter. I can get much more out of a FQ. But…I’m changing my mind with the Perfect 10 Book.
My favorite kind of precut is the fat quarter bundle.
I have not used layer cakes much…but I think I need to start. There are sooo many beautiful patterns using a layer cake!!
Love fat quarters
Thank you, Pat, for all your inspiration. Love the Drawing Room fabrics, especially the blues! Would love to win the layer cake!
I prefer fat quarter bundles, but have been known to use all size pre-cuts.
I love paisley and all the rich colors in the Drawing Room fabric. The layer cake is a great pre cut.
My favorite precut is fat quarter bundles! They a little out of my price range for all the fabric lines I would love to buy. đ so layer cakes are my go to.
I donât have a favorite precut. I use them all, depending on the project. I also use yardage for some quilts, and that lets me use my stash!
Loving the drawing room fabric. bot was perfect for the Owls See You quilt. You are so generous, thank you!
Hello! Love that Drawing Room fabric! I would love that layer cake to make a beautiful quilt! Thank you for the chance to win it!
Love layer cakes.
