I like to use jellyrolls and charms once in a while. Going to a retreat next week and I am going to do the jellyroll quilt which is one of Missouri Stars tutorials and a friend is going to make the disappearing 4 patch using a charm pack and is also a Missouri Star tutorial. Check them out. Sometimes it beats picking out fabric for a quilt, a little change up. When I buy a jellyroll I usually buy a yard or so of coordinating fabric to use as a border.

Beautiful quilt.
I love charm packs, buy 3 to make sure theres enough for a lap quilt. Sometimes buy some matching fabric for border and binding. Just did that with the Sentiments line.
Also buy them to see if I like the line of fabrics.
They give all of the line so they all go togather.

EasyPeezy is right on the money. When it comes to pre-cuts it is best to have a plan. Otherwise your fabric may sit for a long time before it is used. Moda's fabrics are some of my very favorites, and their patterns are nice, too. Do check out the website EasyPeezy provided.

choosing your pattern before buying pre-cuts. I don't know how many times I
bought jelly rolls then find I should have bought (let's say) 1 jelly roll and 1 layer
cake instead of 2 jelly rolls. They are not always interchangeable. So, choose
your pattern first then you can make a wiser decision on buying pre-cuts.
There are lots of free patterns at modabakeshop.com for pre-cuts.
I also like the books from Pam and Nicky Lintott. Check on Amazon.
I don't think I have a favorite pattern...too many to choose from. LOL

My favorites are charm packs. I enjoy making table toppers out of them because they are fast projects and I like playing with different color palettes/fabric lines with a relatively inexpensive investment. Here's one I finished this week using a pattern from the Anka's Treasures book "Charmed and Dangerous".

Sash, your quilt looks so pretty! And Simplelife, I really like your table topper! I need to do something like that. I love table toppers but I've never made the first one and that would be a great use for charm packs. Thanks!
