I find fat quarters to be most versatile. However, they are also more expensive! I’m starting to like layer cakes, though.
My favorite precut is charm packs. I like to use these for all my stars.
I LOVE your drawing room fabric!
My favorite pre-cuts are fat quarters. A layer cake would be fun to try.Happy 10th anniversary Pat Sloan and thanks for so many nice give aways.
Love fat quarters but the size I find most useful and budget friendly are the layer cakes!
My favorite is 1 yard, but fat quarter is more affordable!
I have recently purchased my first layer cake and am searching for the perfect pattern. I usually purchase yardage and remnants from my local shop. On your advice, I just ordered the Perfect 10 book from FQS. I’m so excited to try some new patterns.
My precut favorite would be a jelly roll. They are perfect for a quick baby quilt or lap quilt 🙂
Layer Cakes and of course Fat Quarters. Thank You Barb
My favorite precuts are fat quarter bundles. Layer cakes are a close 2nd, you can do so much with either.
I like all the precuts but am more partial to layer cakes and charm packs.
Layer Cakes – there are a lot of patterns, that used layer cakes.
I love the variety in the fat quarters pre cuts.
I like them all but the fat quarters are my favorite. Really depends on the pattern I’m using.
10” squares for your tenth anniversary. Very appropriate!
Fat quarters or layer cakes for me ☺️
I have recently found a love for using layer cakes! What a wonderful way to celebrate…10 years with 10” squares!! This line is so pretty & I am learning so much from your tutorials! Thank you Pat 😊 I raise my coffee cup w/ congratulations & here’s to another 10 years!!! ☕️🧋🎉
Fat quarter bundles are my precut of choice since you have a bit more fabric to work with for the pattern, but layer cakes are my definite number 2 choice.
I like jelly rolls. I have several quick patterns that use them.
Fat quarter bundles and layer cakes are the two precuts in my stash. I love a layer cake for your Oh My Stars pattern. I am always inspired to make one when I see the fabrics you use to make one. Your color choices are the best. Thank you Pat and Benartex.
My favorite precut is a layer cake, but I mostly buy half yards, so I can cut anything!
I LIKE IT ALL fat qtr bundles, layer cakes or the bolt
Pat, your drawing room fabric is absolutely stunning. The layer cake would be a great way to create something beautiful. Thanks for your videos.
Charms and layer cakes are my favorite pre-cuts
Charms and layer cakes are my favorite pre-cuts
My favorite pre-cut is a fat quarter. You can get every other pre-cut out of it plus more!
I love the fabrics Pat has designed. But who doesn’t. Good luck everyone
My favorite cut is fat quarters and second is charm packs.
My favorite precut is a fat quarter unless I just need a taste of a new fabric a layer cake is best choice.
I’ve ne ver used a layer cake bundle and would love to win this one. The colors are soooo pretty.
I am obsessed with FQS Jollybars! It comes with a free pattern. A layer cake will leave you with leftovers and a charm pack isn’t enough. A close second would be F8 bundle
I love layer cakes and fat quarter bundles . I would love to win a layer cake of your High Tea fabrics – it looks stunning in the quilt you are making !
I really like fat quarter bundles.
A jelly roll is my favorite precut size, although I like the fat quarters and 10″ squares a lot as while. So hard to choose a favorite! Pls enter me in the giveaway.
I prefer Fat Quarters and have purchased charm packs for multiple “Oh My Stars” quilts.! I’ve never used a Layer Cake but would love to explore that using your new line which is so lovely!
My favorite precut is the fat quarter bundle. I love fabric!
i like all precuts, but fat quarters are my favorites because you get a lot of bang for your buck.
I love any kind of precut since I hate cutting out the fabric , saves me time and my wrist .😊
Love this fabric line. I just ordered a fat quarter bundle from the Fat Quarter Shop, would love a Layer cake as well!
Fat quarters make me happiest, but I have fun with all of them 😀
Fat quarter bundles and layer cakes have become my new friends this winter.
Love layer cakes. Makes life easier if you need a quilt in a hurry. I always try to have black and white yardage available to use with a layer cake. Thank you!
I love Jelly rolls because I often piece smaller blocks for the quilts I do for my donations to Threads of Love. What a great opportunity to win one with your fabrics!
I just received my perfect ten pattern book yesterday. i would love to win the layer cake you are giving away to use in one of those patterns. It would be so wonderful. Happy Anniversary!
Fat quarters and layer cakes are my go to if I am not buying yardage.
Trying to use what I already have, but sometimes I just can’t resist beautiful yardage.
As a new quilter I like precuts. i have used 5in precuts
I like fat quarters when I can afford them!
I generally prefer jelly rolls or fat quarters, but I did use a layer cake once…
I would have to say that my favorite precuts would be fat quarters. The block for this Wednesday using the Drawing Room fabric is just absolutely gorgeous. I’m going to have to have a bundle of this line.
I have found I love all pre-cuts! Many quilt patterns today are including them which helps us get into making the quilt with less cutting and measuring. Love the large prints of your fabric, Pat.
I love layer cakes
