I like your drawing room fabric and would like to use it in my next quilt.
Thank you for all your videos!
I like yardage best, but for precut I do use fat quarters most often
Layer cakes are my favorite. Very versatile and easy to store.
Fat quarter and layer cakes are my favorite
I enjoy using Fat Quarters, the most. I love the leftovers! My next favorite pre-cuts have to be Jelly Rolls and Charm Packs. I am new to quilting by machine, so, I am using pre-cut friendly patterns as I become more experienced. I also learned sewing in Home Economics / Sewing class. I took three years of sewing, starting in junior high and then in high school. I went through the tailoring class level. I was so pleased with myself when my plaid pants lined up and matched! I grew up in the 1970s as well. We are the same age. I can relate to that initial feeling of turning on that sewing machine for the first time. I still get a surge of adrenalin when my Babylock lights up. Babylock, reporting for duty! Let’s start sewing and quilting! Thank you, Pat, for the giveaways, and Happy Anniversary!
I am definitely a fat quarter junkie. Layer cakes are also a Great Choice. Thanks again for the videos.
Love your fabric designs. and all your you tube videos.
Fat Quarters!!
I love Fat quarters and jelly rolls best. Love your Drawing Room fabric!
I prefer the fat quarte bundles, because you get more fabric, my second choice will be fat eights and my third choice will be a layer cake.
I like all precuts, but I probably use fat quarters the most.
If I’m not sure what to make then a layer cake for sure.
I love layer cakes the most because I get a lot of different colors.
I like fat Quarters but seem to use layer cakes quite often. I’m able to use all fabrics with not so much waste. Thank you for all you do for us quilters Pat. Would love to use the drawing room line
Love the new fabric line and the first What’s in your Closet block ! Thank you for sharing all your quilting knowledge!
I like all precuts but my favorite is fat quarter bundles. That was what all that was available when I started quilting many years ago 🙂
Thank you, Pat, for all the fun giveaways. I always enjoy Layer Cakes and Jelly Rolls. Lots of variety from a fabric line!
I love layer cakes
Right now my favorite pre cut is charms. I love making Oh my Stars quilt pattern. Before I was into fat quarters.
I am currently working on a layer cake quilt called Lucky Layer Cake. I finally realized that I like working with coordinated fabrics and not scraps, so precuts are nice to use.
I absolutely love layer cakes!! Unfortunately, my local LQS doesn’t carry them. I also love blues and paisley and would just love to receive your Drawing Room layer cake!!!
I’m hooked on jelly rolls! I love log cabin blocks, and the jelly rolls just make me happy when doing them.
I have used fat quaters before would love to try layer cakes. beautiful material.
I love fat quarters.
I love layer cakes and I have used the perfect 10 book and the Jolly bar book but cut a layer cake in half.
This past year Fat Quarters have become my favorite precut!! Layer Cake – hum, that makes me hungry!! LOL!!
I love the colors and patterns. The ideas are flowing.
Thanks.
Unless I’m working on a big project, I like layer cakes. They can easily be sub-cut to 5 inch charms or jolly bars if needed. My second choice would be fat quarters.
It’s hard to choose my favorite between a layer cake or a fat quarter bundle. I like the layer cakes for smaller projects and fat quarter bundles for larger projects or where I want two make two matching items such as table runners. I love all of Pat’s fabrics.
I tend to use charm packs or fat quarter bundles.
I love layer cakes and mini charm packs!
Layer cakes are my favorite. Great variety of fabrics and they all work well together.LET THE FUN BEGIN!!
I am learning to use many different precuts, depending on the pattern. I have mostly used jelly rolls and fat quarters. However lately I have been loving layer cakes. This Drawing Room fabric is beautiful. I love it!
Benartex is my favorite fabric brand because of the feel and the vibrant color. I recently special ordered the Caring Gnome collection by And Metz, in 10 yard bolts to complete lap quilts for my nurses for nursing week 2024. The quilts are turning out beautiful and the fabrics fit nicely with a variety of quilt blocks for matching the character of each of my 25 nurses. I know they will love them. Fat quarter shop is definitely my go to for precuts!
I love layer cakes and have used that pre cut the most in my projects. Your Drawing Room fabrics is so classy and elegant. Such a great giveaway. Thank you, Lora
Being a newer quilter my first go to was charm packs. I then did projects with fat quarters. I’ve been looking for layer cakes now. I’d like to use one to make my sister a quilt from, for her 70th birthday. She’ll be so surprised! Thanks for the opportunity to enter.
I’d live to win some of your beautiful Drawing Room fabric! Layer cakes are my favorite precuts
I am new to quilting and am now addicted. I have learned so much from your videos and blog. Thank you so much.
I like them all! But if I had to pick, I would go with layer cakes.
I’d love to win this! It’s such a pretty collection!
I like charm packs, have way too many! but I use many hst in quilts and they’re great size for that.
My favorite precut is the layer cake because there are so many patterns out for this now!! I would love love a layer cake!!
Your Drawing Room fabric is beautiful! I think I like layer cakes the most, but all of the pre-cuts will work for me!
Decisions, decisions. I’ve used Jelly Rolls more over time but layer cakes can make some beautiful patterns. I’ve almost finished High Tea and could use more Drawing Room fabric.
My favorite pre cut is a layer cake, but I love that mixed with a jelly roll, so many possibilities with these two together!
Lean more towards fat quarters now because you can make all the others
Love the drawing room fabrics. Fat quarters are my favorites.
Humm! Tough choice but I think my favorite is a fat quarter bundle. They provide more options if you don’t have a specific pattern in mind. I love a layer cake too but they are a bit more limiting unless you have a pattern that is designed for them (like those in the perfect 10 book).
All precuts are wonderful! My favorite is fat quarter bundle. More fabric to make more stuff -LOL! Having said that, I will be more than thrilled to win the Layer Cake of your amazing Drawing Room fabric. 😊 Congratulations on 10 years of FaceBook! It’s been a fun celebration.
