Happy anniversary Pat
I love them all, but if I have to pick, I’ll go with fat quarters.
Love a pre-cut for a fast quilt! Saves me time trying to pull a coordinated look from my stash! And, when trying to pull from the stash, I still end up buying additional fabric. đ
Congrats on your anniversary!
Fat quarter bundles are my overall favorite but I like to have all sizes available for convenience.
I love a layer cake. I think it is the most versatile. I can use it as is, make 2 jolly bars, or 4 charm packs.
My go to precuts are either a charm pack or a layer cake.
I used to love any precut, however as I’ve learned more along my quilting journey, fat quarter bundles give more options. Thanks for another giveaway!
I just ordered the perfect 10 book and getting that layer cat would be fantastic to use for one of quilts. I appreciate all that you teach us. Thank you Pat Sloan. Your friend Karen

Decluttering is really a CHALLENGE as we all know.

The precut that I tend to gravitate towards is a layer cake. There’s so much you can do with a ten inch square.
My favorite precut is a layer cake. I do like the fat quarter bundles as well due to having more fabric to play with. But the layer cake is my favorite!
Hmmm, Fat Quarter bundles if I love a design, Layer cakes if I have a project in mind.
I love the drawing room fabrics! And winning a layer cake would be awesome!!
