I love all fabric sizes. Have only ever made one layer cake quilt so maybe it’s time for me to make another? Maybe with Drawing Room?? We’ll see. đ
I love layer cakes as I can get 4 charm paks out of them to make small charity quilts. Also, love jelly rolls.
Nice layer cake!
I like Layer Cakes for quick and easy projects with little waste of fabric.
I have never used a layer cake. Love fabric.
Please draw me as I would like to try some of your fabric, I have been watching you for a while and have been learning sew much from you. I did make your Tantalizing Table Toper and was so trilled that you even posted it on your daily video. I made that all from scraps.
Enjoy using precut sets….. then I’m sure all will match!
I so enjoy the daily video’s and your sharing on the how to and what looks good. I am a past clothing sewer switched to quilting just prior to retirement. Thank you for this option to learn from daily. Would like to start on of your projects not sure If I could keep up. Thanks again.
I love to get Fat Quarters Bundles. Happy 10th Anniversary Pat. I love starting my day with you.
Love layer cakes! Beautiful fabric. Hope I win.
I like Jelly Rolls and Layer cakes. Both are so fun to use.
Love to watch
I guess Iâd say I like fat quarters best as thereâs a little more to work with but I like it all, really.
This fabric is so pretty! I would be so excited to win!
So many quilting options with a layer cake; a runner, wall hanging, lap quilt. And the drawing room fabric has many wonderful patterns. So enjoying watching Pat Sloan’s videos.
Layer cake is my favorite.
I like using fat Quarters
My favorite pre cut is a fat quarter as you can use it in so many patterns!
It would be great to win a fat quarter. I could try some things I have been looking at. Plus you can never have too much stash, lol
I love Fat Quarter Bundles the most. I like to starch and I feel like it gives me a little extra so that if I make any cutting errors or a major boo boo then I have a bit of a buffer for that. I like Layer Cakes and they have been my favorite but once I started using starch I began ordering FQ Bundles for insurance.
LOVE your drawing room fabric!!! Would love to win a fat quarter of that fabric line.
I love using layer cakes. They are a great way to get the entire collection of a fabric line. And there are so many wonderful patterns for 10 inch squares!
Never owned a layer cake, would love to actually have a layer cake, than me cutting them. Thank you for just the chance to own one.
Thank you Pat!
I like fat quarters and then layer cakes are my next favorite. But I use a little bit of everything.
Most times I would prefer yardage, but if I was to buy pre-cuts it would be fat quarter bundles.
I like fat quarters for the variety of fabric and the varied shapes and sizes that can be cut…though charm packs can make quick charity quilts.
I have never used a layer cake. This would be a good introduction!
I love all sizes of fabrics. Iâm learning which is best for certain projects as well
Charm packs. Although I have a few jelly rolls and layer cakes as well. I appreciate all of your sharing. Thank you.
Fat quarters…cuz they all coordiate!
I love the fabric! I like layer cakes, but I prefer fat quarters. The reason is I can cut a layer cake square, some charm squares and even some jelly roll strips.
I love to use layer cakes! Watch your videos everyday and I am learning a lot about auditioning fabrics with patterns. Thank you for being such a positive being and inspiration!
I love fat quarter, you can cut so many things from them. There are lots of patterns you utilize them with. For me it more affordable to buy fat quarters…Love your youtube videos.
I like fat quarters for the flexibility in cutting. That said I’m also trying out the different ways to make HST using a 10″ square. Kind of fun learning a new technique!
Thank you Pat for the opportunity to win and congratulations on your 10th anniversary!
I am s-l-o-w-l-y working my way thru packing boxes of fabrics going back decades. Yes, I know – hard to do with all these beautiful new fabric designs out there. So, true confession: I have never bought myself a layer cake. It would be thrilling to win one. Thanks for the chance, Pat.
And thanks for the inspiration and encouragement you have sent out into the world. I met you on-line when Covid just began and you were a lifesaver. I made your March quilt, and later the Snowflake from FQS. But I use my own fabrics. Sometimes that is a challenge, but I’ve promised myself I will use it up. Making charity quilts now after a 2-year hiatus since my husband of 50 years died. It feels so good to be sewing again.
I have to say that my favorite pre-cut has to be a layer cake and a very close second are fat quarters. But I love fabric no matter the cut!
My favorite precut is a fat quarter bundle, but when I purchase one, I usually buy a charm pack in case I make a mistake.
My favorite is fat quarter bundle.
You give me so much incentive with your friendly, down-to-earth instruction. Thanks to you & the “Shipping Dept.” for all you both do for your quilt family! LOVE the Oh My Stars pattern & made the Solstice Quilt! God Bless!
My favorite precut is fat quarters. I also like charm packs for mini quilts.
I love fat quarters & layer cakes since they make larger blocks for quicker quilts.
I would LOVE to win a new Layer Cake! They are so versatile!
I love fat quarters & layer cake fabric. These make larger & quicker quilts.
My favorite precut bundles are fat quarters and half yard.
I like fat quarters because of such versatility for patterns.
Love them allâŠso many wonderful quilters sharing ideas and tips online!
Fat quarters are my favorite pre-cuts. Your fabric lines are beautiful!
I like working with Fat quarters. There larger size gives enough fabric to make a variety of projects with the scraps I can make squares or strips.
Fat quarters are my favorite, but I usually can only buy a layer cake.
