That is gorgeous fabric. I like fat quarters the best!
I like fat quarters AND layer cakes. Sometimes I buy a layer cake to decide if I want more of the line. Then I’ll go back and buy a fat quarter bundle or yardage.
I usually prefer charm squares because I tend to make baby quilts. But the larger precuts are also appropriate.
I love, love JELLY ROLLS! You can do so much with them in quilting. And the name just makes me smile.
My favorite precuts are fat quarters bundles. I feel that it gives me to most options when selecting a pattern.
I almost always use yardage in my quilts. I have used pre-cuts when I’ve needed a big assortment of prints and colors. Jelly rolls are probably the ones I have purchased most frequently, but it depends on the pattern I’m using at the time.
Layer cakes are the best! You can cut them smaller if you need to… They are so versatile! Your Drawing Room fabric is gorgeous!!
I like Layer Cakes, both the fabric kind and the edible ones!
I like all pre-cuts, but if I have to pick. I say Layer cakes is my favorite.
My favorite precut is fat quarter bundles although, I seem to be collecting them more than using them, lol.
I collect and use both fat quarters and 10 inch squares. I say collect because I can never pass up buying 1 batik fat quarter to go with the projects I’m going to make with my 10 inch squares
I love all precuts! Saves so much time and I get accurate seams!
I mostly sew with layer cakes but when I have the funds, love to buy fat bundles. It really depends on the pattern I have chosen to do. I would love to add Drawing Room to my stash.
love your sew alongs
I love working with Fat Quarters, I also add additional yardage with it, It seems I always run short.
Hi Pat! My favorite pre-cut is the layer cake. You get at least 1 square of each design in the fabric line. You can leave them as 1 whole piece in your quilt or sub-cut them into smaller squares and half square triangles. They are very versatile. Thank you for all you do! God bless!
What beautiful fabric ❤️ would love to make a quilt using this line!
Layer cakes are so versatile <3 Thanks for the chance to win one of your newest fabric line <3
Layer cakes and Jolly bars are my favorite precuts to use for quiting. A layer cake is a wonderful and beautiful way to expermint with color and design.I would love to win your drawing room.
I like fat quarter bundles. I’ve never used a layer cake but would like to try.
I’m a fat quarter bundle girl!!! Layer cake comes in close second since I got my Perfect 10 Book!
I’d really love to buy a layer cake! I only usually buy yardage! Thank you Pat Sloan for this awesome giveaway!
Although I love FQs, I buy them singly … so my favorite pre-cut bundle would be a charm pack. They’re so versatile to mix in your stash fabrics. 🙂
I love pre-cuts in general but my favorite is a fat quarter bundle!
Oh my! Pre-cuts are so great, but I tend to collect jelly rolls and fat quarters 🙂
But I use them all!
I love all precuts but I probably use jelly rolls the most. I love your drawing room fabric!
I love your fabric line and would be honored if I win it. I like precuts. I recently found some charming packs of your Morrison Park fabric. Not sure what I’ll make with them but the fabric is beautiful!
My favorite pre-cut is the layer cake. That way I get all the pieces of the fabric line.
I think my favorite precut is the fat quarter, especially the fat quarter bundle. I can use them to make my own jelly rolls, charms, or layer cakes.
Well anything Pat is my favorite. Love layer cake precuts. I especially enjoy her coaching on how she auditions and chooses colors for blocks.
I like all precuts. It’s fun to dream about what to make and hopefully make it!
I would love to win a layer cake of this fabric! Thank you!😊
I’ve been watching since before the pandemic began. Would love to have fabric in the 10″ squares. Happy 10th anniversary!
Thought I’d never go to precuts but have found that they save so much time. I’m sold on them. I like fat quarters but find that layer cakes are great too!
I love your fabrics. Fat quarters are my favorite size
Layer cakes and fat quarters are my favorite precuts. Drawing Room is rich and regal, would love to win. Thanks you you Pat and Benartex for great opportunity. Blessings, Dawn
I love fat quarter sets The ones that have 22 or more fat quarters to a set. I’m not good at color choices and this way they are all coordinated and the quilts are pleasing to look at. I’m just not good at picking from my stash.
My favorite precut is a layer cake because I can do many things with it from making mini-charm packs up to larger cuts. I have several on hand so I can make a lot of different projects.
Wow, another giveaway!! Yay for us!! Thank you!
Fat quarters are my favorites, but find lately that I am picking up layer cakes because of the fabulous Perfect 10 patterns:)
I love this fabric and I also really like working with precuts. There are so many wonderful pattern to use them with.
My go to pre-cut is the Fat Quarters. gives me extra to put back into my stash.
I love fat quarter bundles. Mainly because there seems to always be leftover fabrics after a project for my stash! 😊 I also enjoy working with layer cakes, too, especially now that I have the Perfect 10 book!
I love how your line of fabric looks and would love to see it up close and personal. I love working with Layer Cakes, many different ways to use them.
I love fat quarter bundles. Haven’t purchased any, but would love too. I’m working up my leftover fabrics from the quilts that I have previously made. Congratulations Pat on 10th anniversary.
Layer cakes and Fat quarters are my favorites! Sew many patterns for both!
I always go for the layer cake!
I ❤️ fat quarters, but really enjoyed using a layer cake for the “Home Is” sew along.
I like to use fat quarter bundles, because i really like all the different fabrics in the bundles.
I love layer cakes because you can just cut and sew — no ironing. The best when you have been at work all day and just want to get sewing.
Any fabric would be a great gift to win
