I like Fat Quarter bundles but don’t usually buy them because of the expense. I usually get the layer cake or the jelly roll if that is what the pattern calls for
I have used all the precuts and seem to use more of the charm packs than anything else.
I love drawing room fabric!! I love lots of precuts and I have the book perfect 10 and have not used it yet this would be awesome
My favorite precut are fat quarter bundles. I generally like to buy 1 yard increments to have some leftovers for errors and scrap bins.
Fat Quarters are my go to as I love to make individual blocks with several colors. The harder the pattern block the more exciting it is to make. Fat Quarter shop has a wonderful fat quarter monthly stack. It is a color theme each month and very good quality fabric.
The precuts I use the most are charms and layer cakes. I’d love to win the Drawing Room layer cake. Thank you!
Love Layer cakes and Charms. Who am I kidding really, I love all fabric. I do tend to buying fat quarters a lot though. Than you Pat for a stupendous giveaway of you Drawing Room. It’s gorgeous.
LOL. You are kidding about picking out a favorite precut right? I love all precuts and have so many of them in my stash and that I am using on current projects. I use all precuts equally except for the fat 8th. Your Drawing Room Fabric is gorgeous!! My local quilt shop should be getting it soon, if they don’t the FQS will be sending some my way. Congratulations on your 10th year Facebook Anniversary and Thank You for all you do to help us quilters!
My favorite precut is fat quarter bundles but I also love layer cakes.
Fat quarters are my favorite precuts but I tend to like yardage the best. 🙂

Love Benartex fabrics! This line from Oat Sloan is nothing but DELICIOUS 💙💙💙💙
Thank you for the opportunity to win a layer cake!
Layer cake precuts are my favorite precut and so versatile to work with—can ‘downsize’ for large or small-sized blocks.
New to wuilting. Would love to try a layer cake with your fabric line!!
I love using fat quarter bundles the best but precuts rock!!!!! I buy yardage for backings and bindings. Thank you Pat for all you do for us. Have a great 2024…..
Who doesn’t love fabric! Fabric is the fuel to my love of making quilts and gifts for my friends, charity & myself.
I prefer fat quarters, but use a lot of layer cakes also
Lately I have been using fat quarters, but I have seen the disappearing nine patch using the layer cake. I love that cutting simple square different ways creates a whole new block. I too learned to sew around 1968 Jr. High. My mom started teaching how to layout patterns and sew straight seams. I love to make aprons, but never wear them. Kind of funny I guess. I do love your fabric. I try to catch them on sale. I love watching you put the larger prints into the blocks. My mom drummed tiny prints were better into my brain, why that sticks I don’t know. Love your work and your books. See you on your videos over and over. Peggy
Hi Pat, Love the Big Block today! I like charm packs because I often make small quilts or table runners and charm packs work well for those. Plus I can sample a lot of different fabric lines and not take up too much room in my sewing room.
A layercake is my favorite size!
Love a layer cake!
I have the perfect pattern picked out for a quilt for my daughter’s 50th birthday. I’m using the Drawing Room fabric and the colors are amazing. This would be perfect as I need additional to be able to complete the project. I have the fat quarter bundle already in my cart! Thanks for the giveaways, Pat!
Fat Quarters are my favorite but really I like all precuts..
I love fat quarters and layer cakes.
My favorite precut is a fat quarter, but I love all “fabric”!
Layer cakes are my favorite. I make most of my quilts with them. Your drawing room fabrics are so beautiful. Thanks for sharing the knowledge of quilting. I really enjoy your videos.
The fat quarter bundles. It helps me with coordinating fabric and I can play around with different pattern templates to see how a fabric might look before cutting it up. You get to see a wide variety of fabrics and colors already picked out for you.
I would have to say I love all the precuts for different reasons, but I have more Layer Cakes than anything else. Would love to win yours! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Another wonderful giveaway! Thanks for the opportunity to win your fabric.
My favorite precut is a Fat Quarter Bundle because I can get all of the other precuts from. FQB. However, FQB can get a little pricey so then I will go for a layer cake. Your Drawing Room fabric layer cake would make a wonderful Perfect 10 quilt.
Being new to quilting I’ve recently used a layer cake. This may be my new favorite precut, it was so nice to have the whole fabric line together.
My favorite right now is the layer cake. This may be because of the Perfect 10 Ambassador sew along :-). It’d be awesome to win a layer cake of your Drawing Room fabrics!
I have quite a stash of layer cakes. When I started quilting, those were my favorites, but lately, fat quarters have been my “go-to” choice. They’re very versatile in so many quilt patterns.
I enjoy working with precutsand would love to have some of your beautiful collection!!!
My favorite pre-cuts are half-yards and fat quarters.
Thank You I love your Videos.
This fabric line is just beautiful ! I don’t use many small precuts but I enjoy half yard and yard bundles !
Hello Pat. My favorite precut is just about any size lol. I buy them off and on but I usually cut from yardage so it’s fun when I can pick up one at a quilt shop;)
Limited budget dictates sizes of precuts I use. Don’t necessarily have a favorite. I would LOVE to win the Drawing Room layer cake!!!!!!!!!
I’d love to win your Drawing Room fabric. Thank you for the chance.
Fat quarters are my absolute favorite!
I’m fairly new to layer cakes, but am finding that they are my new favorite pre-cut.
I like fat quarter bundles the best! But, recently I have been looking at the Layer Cake bundles and just bought the Perfect 10 book to try making one of those quilts. Too many quilt ideas and not enough time!
Fat Quarter bundles rule the day! Definitely the most versatile — and all the other precut sizes can be cut from a FQ.
Can you believe it, I’ve never purchased or sewn with a precut. I usually just buy yardage. It would be amazing to get your 10 inch squares and try them. It might convert me!
I would love to have a layer cake of Drawing Room.
Thanks for all you do.
My favorite precut is a fat quarter bundle.
I started out using the fat quarter bundles but now I find myself using the layer cakes. I love the ease of grabbing a preselected bundle and not worrying if the fabrics match.
I have only had one layer cake but was amazed at how far I could stretch it. I am enjoying all the French vanilla blocks being posted. Makes me think I need another
Fat quarter bundles are not within my budget. So, I tend to use charm packs and layer cakes. Would love to win a layer cake of your drawing room collection. Thanks for all you do, Pat!
