I love the first block. I may make a while quilt with the first block.
I didn’t really get passionate about quilting till I retired. Now I can’t stop, I am still building my stash, and so far I enjoy fat quarters, and jelly rolls, really any pretty fabric, even scraps.
I would love to use a layer cake, and your Drawing Room fabric is beautiful! So pretty. It makes me feel good just looking at it, I imagine holding in in my hands would inspire a great project!
I like the Fat Quarter bundles best.
Just learning. I have never used a layer cake.
I love using layer cakes. They are so versatile. Lots of ways you can cut them up and make so many designs.
Such pretty fabric. So many projects I can think of to use this in.
I am a fan of fat quarters. You can make your own layer cake bundle, add to your charm pack bundle and still have some for 2 1/2 strips. Thanks Pat for the great tutorials.
Hi Pat!
Sure enjoy seeing your smiling face!
Hope I’m not too late to let you know that I like fat quarters best. Layer cakes come in at a close second!
Have a great day!
Kathy
Would love to have the layer cake. Beautiful colors.
My favorite is fat quarters but I have used jelly rolls and layer cakes. Drawing Room fabrics are beautiful. Thank you, Pat, for all you do for quilters.
I love layer cakes. So many patterns you can use with them. And especially love to cut my own 10 in squares with my accuquilt.
A layer cake…. what a great giveaway!!!
Layer cakes
I love your drawing room fabrics. So pretty!
I mostly use yardage, just because that’s what I have (started purchasing fabrics long before layer cakes/jelly rolls and so on). I try to use what I have on hand or buy specifically for a project. I think I would LOVE to have a fat quarter bundle.. or even a half yard bundle, but I have yet to buy one.
Hands down, my favorite is the fat quarter bundles! Love the large floral prints in your drawing room fabrics. Happy Anniversary!
I love layer cakes and jollybars.
Like the Drawing Room fabric bundle. It will be sew much fun to make something with that collection!
I like fat quarter bundles or layer cakes!
My favorite to sew is the jelly roll though my favorite for versatility is the layer cake.
Started with Fat Quarter and still love them. Found Charm squares and jelly rolls and enjoy working with them, they are my go to. Learning to really like the Layer cakes more recently. Love all precuts.
I like jelly rolls, but I just got a few charm packs to use. Just depends on the pattern I’m making.
Love to win layer cake
I love layer cakes and would love to win this one of Pat’s so I could sew along with the perfect 10
I like them ALL! Have a fair stash of all including jolly bars, like them too. Precuts usually make things easier to manage.
Guess I’m fickled!! I LOVE them all.
I like using fat quarters. Layer cake would be my second choice. Layer cakes are great on a quilters budget.
Fat quarters are my favorites
I’d have to pick fat quarters if I have to pick just one…. but any fabric is welcomed fabric!
I love fat quarter bundles but I have used all to make quilts and other fun projects.
Jelly rolls are really fun to use too.
I think I love them all. 🤪❤️
What fun and beautiful fabrics
I love fat quarter bundles to look at and enjoy (who am I kidding, I love ALL precut fabric), but my favorite precut to USE are layer cakes. They seem to make a decent sized quilt with very little additional fabric.
Fat quarter bundles are my favorite. I’ve never bought a layer cake but I see lots of patterns using them that I would love to try.
I love fat quarters because you can do so much with them.
The Drawing Room fabric line is very pretty and the layer cake is a nice way to sample this line!
I like all the precuts, but my favorite would have to be the jelly roll. Happy Anniversary, Pat.
I ❤️ Fat quarters and charm packs. Haven’t used a layer cake, but would love to win one and try.
I love layer cakes! There are lots of patterns to use them with.
I’d love to win this layer cake. I’d like you get some yardage for borders and background while it’s available at my LQS.
My favorite is 10inch layer cakes. Most blocks can be made with layer cakes.
Thank you for all the wonderful videos Pat! I love that you show “real life!”
I like buying the Fat Quarter bundles for your projects and buy yardage where needed. I do use Layer cakes, jelly rolls and charm packs. The precuts help with not having an excess of fabric left over in a project.
My first choice is usually a charm pack.
While I have used jelly rolls, and layer cakes, I frequently purchase fat quarter bundles.
Fat quarter bundles
I’m from Canada and I love all of Pats fabric but have a hard time finding any!!!
I would love to win the layer cake which is one of my favorite cuts. I also like charm packs for a quick quilt.
Thank you for all you do! 😊
Love all the inspiration!
I like all the precuts and just purchased Birdsong, my first layer cake. Love to win the Drawing Room prize. Beautiful fabric!
I would really love to win that layer cake of your Drawing Room fabric. You are such a talented designer. Love watching you on you-tube
My favorite precut are the mini-charms because I use them to make mug rugs. My other favorite size is the 5″ charm pack. My sister gave me two of your “Drawing Room” charms packs so I can make my first “Oh My Stars!”
