I like using fat quarters, but depending on the pattern I still need a “bundle” of coordinating fabrics!
My first choice would be a FQ, but I have been seeing more patterns that a layer cake would work as well. So I’m not sure which one I prefer.
I am on a kick using layer cakes. I find them easy to cut and not much waste. But, being a quilter, I love all fabric cuts!
I dont know if I entered yesterdays give a way but if not, please include me.
I like all the pre-cuts. They are just a great time saver. Thanks for the giveaway!
I plan to do the Whats in your Closet sew along. Thanks for the give a ways. I am doing the drawing room and this would be a nice addition.
What a beautiful layer cake it would make a wonderful quilt! Thanks for the opportunity to enter for a chance to win!
My favorite precut is Fat quarter. A quilter can get any size cut desired from a fat quarter. My second favorite is a layer cake. A layer cake has all the fabric line. I can’t always afford a fat quarter in all the fabric line…lol. I hope to win this layer cake. 🙂
I love layer cakes and I love Drawing Room fabrics!!! I use layer cakes and charm packs all the time. What a wonderful giveaway!! Thank you so much for this opportunity Pat and Benartex!!
slmae1@aol.com. Did not put email in comment so here I go again. Love your fabric line and I liked both color choices for the big block today
I use fat quarters the most, but I like working with layer, cakes, and charm packs as well.
I like fat quarter bundles because all the guess work is taken out of what fabrics should go together. I do not have to go looking for fabrics that play well together. Fat Quarter bundles have done all the matching of fabrics for me. Also with fat quarter bundles, I can use in more than one quilt.
I really enjoy working with fat quarters,layer cakes & jelly rolls. It just depends on the pattern I’m wanting to make. Actually I just love fabric!
With just a year of learning how to quilt, I usually tend to buy fat quarter bundles and layer cake’s. Love quilting!!!
I would love to have the layer cake in your fabric line I have been watching for awhile now and love your fabric line. I really like both color choices today for the big block
I love your drawing room line.
I have not used a Jelly Roll yet! My favorite, as suggested by many designers, is a Layer Cake.
‘Drawing Room’ is a beautiful fabric collection
My absolute favorite precut is a layer cake! I actually hoard them and then experiment with patterns as they interest me. A close second is a fat quarter bundle, which I also hoard like a squirrel with nuts.
Fat quarters for me!
I love all fabric. I haven’t used a lot of pre-cuts but have been gifted some different sizes. I have bought some FQ but no bundles.
My favorite is fat quarter. Recently been looking at layer cake quilts.
I love Pat Sloan’s fabric from Benartex! Thanks for a chance to win this beautiful layer cake, my favorite pre-cut.
Fat quarter bundles are my favorite fabric precut. Love getting a stack of beautifully coordinating fabrics that can be used in a variety of projects. Your Drawing Room line is my absolute favorite of all your collections, Pat! I already have yardage to use for the upcoming Owl QAL. I’d love to add a layer cake of Drawing Room!
I think a Layer Cake is my favorite because they are versatile. They can be cut into 5 inch squares or strips of different width.
had always used yardage to make quilts but since watching your videos I have bought a layer cake and a charm pack. . II love the layer cake. It is so versatile.
My favorite is layer cakes, but I like fat quarter bundles too.
I like fat quarters best… but I am looking for the perfect layer cake for a perfect 10 quilt .
What a beautiful fabric line. So sophisticated yet pretty. I would love to win the layer cake! Oh the project possibilities. 🙂
I love working on sew alongs! 💕
I like layer cakes. You can make all kinds of blocks with a layer cake and if I’m lucky enough to be the winner I would be so excited to have some of your fabric designs. What a really pretty collection. Thank you Patty,
Good morning Pat! Layer cakes are so easy to transform into charm squares or 2 1/2 squares. Or use as is! There are so many patterns for each cut
My favorite is a fat quarter bundle. You have many more choices with this size.
Layer Cakes are my favorite precut and the Drawing Room Collection is so gorgeous. I would love to make a project using it.
My favorite pre-cut is a fat quarter. However if yardage is on sale I will get my favorites and stock pile them for furture use. I have used layer cake size also.
I have the most “fat quarters” as precuts. They work well in many projects.
I can always go for a good fat quarter bundle. But, as my stash has grown I realize layer cakes are also good. Love the brown and blue color combination in Drawing Room.
Happy 10th Pat,love that large block. I think I’m a precut junkie.
I have wanted to do a quilt with a layer cake.
I love your drawing room fabric. I have never purchased a layer cake, normally I get a charm pack or jelly roll. As just a beginner quilter I have a lot to learn. Thanks for all you do.
It is such a pretty line. Not to girly, would make a great one for men.
I love the charm packs but love layer cakes and can cut my own charms! Love the “Drawing Room” fabric line. Thank you for this opportunity to.
Fat quarters are more versatile, but layer cakes are a nice option if you don’t want to spend a lot. You still get a nice sample of each fabric in the collection. I love the paisley fabrics in Drawing Room, Pat!
I would love some of your fabric line!
I mostly buy yardage and cut it up. But to have a layer cake would be so cool!
Dear Pat, I love your line, Drawing Room. My favorite pre cuts are layer cakes and fat quarters. I hope I win this one. Thanks for all you do for us. I’ve learned so much from watching your videos. Sending hugs, Carmen Maldonado
WONDERFUL!! I love anything PAT Sloan!! Layer cakes MAKES A FAST QUILT. THANK YOU FOR OFFERING THIS TO US.
I absolutely love pre-cuts! I would love to win your layer cake. Thank you in advance Pat!
I like fat quarter or purchase 1 yard at a time. I like to know I have enough left over to cover mistakes or make a little something extra.
My favorite precut is a fat quarter. I just got The Drawing Room FQ last month. Would ❤️ to have the Layer Cake to do a Perfect 10 Quilt to celebrate your 10th Anniversary! Wishing you a great next 10 on FB Pat and Greg!
I love fat quarters the best. My second choice would be fat eighth bundles. I like knowing, hopefully, I have more than enough fabric to make a quilt!!
I like fat quarters but usually can’t afford the bundle, so I buy layer cakes.
