Just wondering... why do YOU buy pre-cuts?
After spending two full days cutting 2.5" strips in the store last week, I know what MY answer to the question would be.
But I was curious as to why other quilters buy pre-cuts.
Is it for the variety you get in a bundle?
Or to save you time?
Or because you just don't like to cut?
... or maybe some other reason?

I usually don't buy precuts(due to price) but I will when i need a lot of variety. For ex., DD wanted a quilt from all B and W prints. by the time i would have bought enough different prints and cut them myself, the cost of buying precuts -in this case jellyrolls-looked pretty good. i also will buy charm packs if i find them at a good price, just to have a variety on hand for a quick baby quilt. I usually pair them with solids from my stash.

I've bought 3 or 4 jelly rolls and a few charm packs .... like the variety of fabrics (and all the u-tube videos showing all the clever ways to use them) ... now I just need to find just the *right* pattern for them!!! lol
