My favorite precut is a fat quarter because you have so many more options and I’m a very budget minded quilter and I like to make use of every piece when I can. Thank you for the giveaway. If I had to choose from other precuts the 10 inch would be great as well. Large enough on its own or cut down for smaller choices. Thanks again
I have some yardage and would love to win the layer cake!!!
I like all precuts but my 2 favorites are Layer cakes and fat quarters.
Fat quarters is usually what I get but I do love charm packs too!
I love layer cakes, fat quarters, and wide back fabric
Layer Cakes or Fat Quarter bundles are both fantastic. Drawing Room is beautiful.
Love Love the big block
I love fat quarter bundles, but I would love to win the drawing room layer cake!
Love a layer cake! Lots of different choices for patterns….
I haven’t purchased Drawing Room yet…. I’d love a layer cake!!!
Cake cake. Layered cake ? Layer cake or jelly roll sounds great. Have fun
I love fat quarters. I don’t have any layer cakes in my stash, time to change that!
I love layer cakes because you can do so much with them.
I love layer cakes and FQ bundles! Would love to have this drawing room layer cake!
Currently my favorite size of precut is fat quarters. They give me a good amount of “wiggle-room” to play around with different combinations and enough fabric to try different blocks, but they aren’t so big that I get tired of the fabric. I used to like charm packs more when I first started quilting, but I found that I didn’t have enough fabric to do very many things with them unless I bought several packs. So why not get layer cakes or fat quarters instead? Fat quarters won out because there is enough to have left-overs to use in other projects and scrappy quilts, too!
I guess charm packs are my favorite…. I may have a collection of them😉
What yummy colors!!! I love to collect layer cakes as I can do so much with them!!
I like fat quarters and layer cakes the best. Thanks for all your give aways!
I like charm packs best.
my favorite precut is a fat quarter. I have only ever purchased one layer cake. I would love to own your layer cake.
Love the fabric!
I love to use layer cakes when I can get them. I mostly use fat quarters because any other size are not available in this small town. Love your fabrics they are just so beautiful and color coordiated.
Pat, I would really enjoy making something with these fat quarters. Looking forward to doing this sew along with you.
I like fat quarters, more room for the imagination! Plus it is sew easy to use the accuquilt cutter to get the other sizes.
Love quilting!!
I love fat quarters and layer cakes the most. I have worked with charm packs and jelly rolls for different patterns.
The Drawing Room fabric line is fabulous. I would love to win a layer cake. Your sponsors are being generous for this 10th Anniversary celebration. Thanks to Benartex and Pat for all you do.
Fat quarters are my fav!
i think i get the most out of fat quarters, but it is amazing what you can do with a layer cake.
I’ve never used a layer cake so it would be awesome to win one with your beautiful fabric Pat!
My favorite size of precut is 10 inch squares. They’re so versatile. You can turn them into four packs or two Jolly bars. And use different patterns for each. I just love making quilts
I would love to win some of your fabric it is gorgeous.
I like layer cakes and fat quarters I love your fabrics and your videos.
I am really starting to love fat quarter bundles. I always used to buy yardage. I also love charm packs and layer cakes. I just love all fabric!!!
Love fat quarters❣️
never have enough fabric. love this design.
I love to buy Fat Quarter bundles.
My favorite precut is Layer Cakes.
Fat quarters are my favorite Pre-Cut. I love having some leftovers when I’ve finished my project.
I love to sw. Pat gives us motivation and great ideas. I have never used a layer cake. I love the Drawing Room fabric. Thank you for all you do for us to enjoy your videos.
My favorite Pre-Cut is the layer cake. I am sewing along with the Perfect 10 book. Congratulations on 10 years!!!
I would love the layer cake so I could use the same fabrics as Pat!
Layer cakes. I feel like they give me more flexibility for different patterns. Thank you to Benertex!
That blue drawing room fabric is beautiful, Pat! I love ❤️ layer cakes too…they are my favorite 🤩.HUGS, Suzanne
Hi Pat, I like fat quarters. Nice give away. Thanks.
Since I like to make scrappy quilts using 2 1/2 inch strips, leftover jelly roll scraps are my go to precuts!
I tend to use fat quarters and like the fact that yardage is usually available if more is needed.
I like jelly rolls. They are so versatile. I make jelly rolls strips from cutoffs. They can be subcut when needed for 2.5” blocks
Years ago, it was delightful when charm packs first came out, So much fun to have a piece of each fabric in a new line. Lately, I more often purchase layer cakes for more options or even to cut into charm packs.
My favorite pre-cut is a layer cake. It is the perfect size for projects that I enjoy doing. You can also make four charm packs out of a layer cake. It’s just a nice size to work with all around.
