Layer cakes are my Favorite pre-cut! So wonderful that someone else has done the fabric selection for me because that’s the most stressful part for me!!
Beautiful fabric line
Fabric Fabric Fabric, I love fabric. Free Fabric is the best. I don’t really have a favorite precut. I love the challenge of creating something that I didn’t have a specific plan for.
I love fat quarters because it gives you a small portion of the whole line. I also love 10” squares when I want to make a quilt that uses large squares because it shows off the pattern so well. I am looking forward to getting the Perfect 10 book to use some of my 10” squares from my stash.
My favorite precut is the layer cake. It is versatile since it can be cut into 5 inch squares or into 2 1/2 inch strips. I have used them with a background square to make a half square triangle quilt that I needed in a hurry.
I love fat quarter bundles. It’s wonderful to get fabric that I know goes together, and I don’t have to hunt the stores for pieces that match. Jelly rolls are fun too. To date, I’ve not had a layer cake or charm pack, but I foresee them in my future!
Love all pre-cuts and any would greatly appreciated!
I love a good fat quarter bundle, but I can get into just about any size pre-cut and be happy.
I mostly use charms.
I love Layer Cakes because you get a square for each design. So many patterns to use for this pre-cut!
Charm packs or mini charm packs are my favorite ❤️
Ooo..Fabric? That is a great item for quilters! I enjoyed their lookbook live feed at the end of last year!
I really like the fat quarters because I can get lots of cutting options for patterns
I have only used a layer cake once. I collect fat quarters!
My favorite is the fat quarter because there is more fabric to work with especially when I don’t have a particular project in mind when buying.
I would love to try 10″ layer cakes.
I LOVE fat Quarter bundles, but when the budget won’t allow, a layer cake works too
My favorite precut is 10 inch squares. Also 2 1/2 strips.
Any precut is a time saver when making a project. I love all precuts, they are great!
Would love to own your drawing room fabrics.
I like FQ bundles but I really love jelly rolls. They are just fun to work with.
I like layer cakes or fat quarter bundles. It’s nice to have a collection that all goes together but I always need to find more in my stash lol. Thanks for the chance to win which would be wonderful!!! I love your daily videos. They make my day. (I love your laugh and looking to see what’s on your walls)
I love fat quarters!
Layer cakes are great, you can do many different quilt designs
Love the Drawing room paisley
The drawing room fabric will make such a beautiful quilt!! Congratulations on 10 years!! 🎊🌹
Fat Quarters are on the top of my favorite precuts list, followed by a layer cake.
I love charms, layer cakes, minis! My least favorite are jelly rolls!
I love layer cakes, and your Drawing Room is such a stunning fabric line.
What a pretty fabric line! I got the perfect 10 book, and I have a project picked out!
I like fat quarters best, but I have liked charm packs too. They work good for Oh My Stars!
I love layer cakes & jelly rolls!
I like fat quarters but have made several quilts with the jello rolls. Precuts are very versatile.
I use fat quarters the most, but I’ve used all the pre-cuts.
Right now, I’m really enjoying the Perfect 10 sew along with the ambassadors. Congratulations on your 10th anniversary at Facebook, Pat!
I love fat quarter bundles but wouldn’t ever turn down fabric 😉
Enjoy your daily video
I used to alway buy yardage, but now I love the precuts. Mostly Fat Quarters or layer cakes. I find the Fat Quarters give me more options.
I have a tendency to use more of the Fat Quarter Bundles. However, I love having Charm Packs and Layer Cakes in my baskets on my shelves. They are sooo pretty to look at.
I like fat quarter bundles and layer cakes. Your Drawing Room fabric is so beautiful. I would love to make something with it.
I like layer cakes or fat quarters, it depends on the pattern. I loved the layer caked we used for the Christmas quilt along and there were enough pieces left over to use on another project.
I never buy precuts, but if i would i would go with a Fat Quarter, cuz bigger is better! I would love to win some of your fabric, love everything you do and love your Wednesday QALs. Thanks pat.
Fata quarter bundles are my favorite!
I like to use Jelly rolls and fat quarters
I prefer to use layer cake fabrics because they have so many uses but I do love all fabric.
My favorite precuts are fat quarters and layer cakes! Congratulations on 10 years, Pat!
I like layer cakes because they are so versatile especially when working on smaller projects. They provide controlled scrapiness!
My favorite precut is the Fat Quarter Bundle, but I enjoy working with any precut.
My favorite precut: it used to be fat quarters, then jelly rolls — but lately I’ve been choosing 10″ squares. So many prints, so little time!
I especially like a fat quarter bundle. There is a lot of variety to use in a quilt.
My favorite precut is a fat quarter. I use precuts of all sizes though. I enjoy layer cakes, because you still get to experience the big prints on a 10″ square of fabric.
Would love to win your layer cake fabric, it’s delicious!
I love charm packs. They are easy to play with!
