My favorite precuts are fat.quarters. They give me the best opportunity to fussy cut over the smaller precuts.
I use a lot of fat quarters and charm squares…anxious to try a layer cake
What beautiful fabric, every morning I wake up early grab my coffee and sit down to watch your live to see what we are doing next, and to see what is new to learn. Did my first All my stars for Christmas.
Like many others, I see, my favorite precut is a fat quarter. I like the variety of fabrics which can then be cut to many different sizes. Would love to win your Drawing Room layer cake, though!
Hi Pat! My favorite pre-cut is a fat quarter. You can do so much with them and have left overs for scrappy quilts too. Happy 10th Anniversary!!
What a win, win, situation. Pat’s Drawingroom fabric and Benartex fabric. I love this line and florals.
I like layer cakes and jelly rolls. I have a long list of patterns to try and a short stack of cakes and rolls!!! Precuts save time and leave less scraps. Also gives you a sample of everything in the line.
I love them all! I have lots of fat quarters and jelly rolls with a few layer cakes and charms.
I am addicted to charm packs!!!
That layer cake is beautiful!!!! Thank you so much for your daily shows I love them.
We actually met during one of your classes you taught in Pensacola for Pensacola quilters.
Love layer cakes because you can also get four charm packs out of one.
Would love these beautiful fabrics.
I love, love, love your drawing room fabric!!!
My go to is fat quarter bundles. I use to buy only yardage,that way I knew I would have enought fabric and I wouldn’t run out before the project was finished. Now, for the last two years I have been getting precuts. I really like your “Drawing room fabrices. I thinking I’ll get that in a bundle. I would like to have your free layer cake that would be nice. I do belive for me it all comes down to the projects as to what I’m going buy.
Thank You again Pat, I can till I’m going to really like “What’s In Your Closet?”. You have a wonderful day by for now Lillian
Layer Cakes are the best to work with, so many things one can do with them. The fabric is very pretty.
My favorite pre-cut is a fat quarter. I love FQ bundles because the fabrics are curated and I don’t have to guess which fabrics go with each other! I am terrible at picking fabrics for a project.
My favorite precut fabric is the fat quarter bundle. I also like the jelly roll.
I love fat quarter bundles. I feel it is the perfect amount of fabric of a collection. It gives you room to make a project or two!
Love to start my day with your YouTube videos.
I like fat Quarter bundles. You can make other precuts from them.
I love all precuts, but favorite size of precut is jelly rolls.
My favorite size of precut is a charm pack. I use them in Oh My Stars lap quilts and baby quilts.
I am not a huge fan of precuts, however I use fat quarters more than any other type.
I like the colors of the Drawing Room line. Blues and tans are one of my favorite color combinations.
Would love to have the Layer cake , the blue is very beautiful. I also have used lots of Benartex fabrics.
I find athat a Layer Cake is the most versatile cut for me, especially if I haven’t selected a pattern to use the fabric yet. Love them! <3
I have lost my sewjo. The fabric is pretty. Hopefully it will get me motivated to sew again.
I love your Drawing room fabric and would love to try a layer cake. I have done patterns that call for layer cakes, however, I have just used fat quarters and made many more cuts, a layer cake would be cool to try!
Seldom use precuts and this would help me enjoy its benefits. Pretty color.
Oh, love to work with your colors!!
Charm packs are so much fine if you enjoy tiny project pieces!
I love all precuts but use fat quarter bundles the most! Love watching you, Pat! Thank you!
Usually fat quarter bundles, but… Layer cakes are great too!
love layer cakes. i’ve used quite a few of them. The blues in that layer cake are Beautiful!!
Been using Jellyrolls for quick quilts. Ready to try a layer cake pattern. Love all precuts – the coordinating colors/designs take a lot of the tough decisions out of quilting so I can just sew and have fun!
Fat quarter bundles are my favorite. I have a Jelly Roll of Patâs âdrawing roomâ fabrics and a layer cake of the same would be sweet! Thank you Benartex for a chance at a generous giveaway!
I just love fabric layer cakes fat quarters any of them
I love fat quarters because of their versatility, but layer cakes are also quite versatile and you get the complete line at a much lower price.
I love layer cakes and also fat quarter bundles! Thanks for the chance to win some of your gorgeous fabric!
I have used all of them….I guess it mostly depends on the pattern.
Fat Quarters by far. Itâs amazing how much fabric is in a fat quarter and there are so many options in how to cut it up. It is the most versatile precut for sure!
I have 2 favorite pre cuts, they are layer cakes and fat quarters.
My favorite precuts are fat quarters. However, I’ve purchased some jelly rolls and layer cakes recently. I love your fabric line! I would love to win the layer cake!
My favorite precuts are fat quarter bundles, but they can get pricey, so if I love a line, but donât have a project picked out, I will buy a layer cake, because you can see the full pattern of the fabric best in this size
My favorite precut is fat quarters
Layer cakes are my favorite precuts, but I truly love 1/2 yard bundles. Your drawing room fabric is gorgeous
Fat quarter bundles are the best! So many options!!!
I like fat quarter bundles but have used many precuts. I’m currently making a Perfect 10 with a layer cake.
I like using layer cakes, which sometimes I will cut them up for five inch squares. I also love fat quarters.
My fav precut is a fat quarter bundle but they are quite expensive so I usually buy something smaller. Presently I have 3 fat quarter bundles, 2 layer cakes, about 6 5â squares and lots of candies. I just love having the different lines and sizes.
