What size/type of pre-cuts do you usually buy?
 

I love jelly rolls. I have made at least three quilts using them and will make many more.

I buy fat quarters, 5" charms and an occasional jelly roll. I like the 5" charms because I can whip a project pretty quick with them. I buy fat quarters because: A. I love different fabrics B. I can have a large variety of prints in my stash and C. They are just the right size for small projects. I have never even considered the turnovers, mainly because I don't see them in the LQS very often. I'm fussy about anything with a bias edge so I try to avoid them! I suppose that the honey buns would work just like "home made" HST, just starch the heck out of them before handling and sewing them

I usually do the Fat Quarter bundles, Fat Eights are my favorite but harder to find and Jelly rolls. There are so many patterns and books for the Jelly rolls so I always know I can find something to do with them

I love jelly rolls, too. Do you have a favorite pattern to use with them?

I don't buy precuts. I would rather buy yardage. I bought one quilt kit and will not do that again. I hated two of the fabrics that were in the kit and had to replace them.

I buy layer cakes and jelly rolls - I find this size for me is the most useful.

I buy 5" charms, jelly rolls, and fat qtr sets. i've bought a couple of themed layer cakes - landscape fabrics. I do small projects and art type stuff so I like the variety. I buy yardage of solids and blenders and a few prints to use as backings.

I only buy the fat quarter bundles and then only if it's a type of fabric I'm collecting for a project. I have somehow acquired some charm squares but still haven't figured out what to do with them.

FQ is as small as I will go.

My mom gave me a set of 5 inch squares - and when I washed them, some of them became very wonky - one of them shrank to 4.5 inches x 5 inches!!!

I love fat quarters. Good way to get a large variety of fabrics. I bought 5 inch squares, several sets and made my twister quilt. Saved a lot of cutting. I never wash the smaller cuts of fabric.

when i buy i buy 5 inch charms so easy to make quick quillts

This is an interesting conversation. I've bought charm squares and fat quaters. I find a use for all for them in different things. DP9 is a great pattern for charm squares. 2 packages is enough for a lap quilt.

I have never purchased any precuts. They are not available where I live and after I figure out the price per yard I just don't do it when I travel. I guess there are benefits to living in a very small community. Ann in TN

I buy the layer cakes the most because that size fits most of my Go dies. I swap cost for time saved. I know I will run out of time no matter what. Money comes and goes.

FQ's and jelly rolls for me. Have bought layer cakes, but took longer to figure out what to do with them.:)

I never pre-wash any of my pre-cuts. Which always feels really odd to me because I normally pre-wash like a fiend!

I order all of mine because my LQS was rude to me & then again to my DH so I no longer give them my business. So many places on-line have pre-cuts on sale & have free shipping so it's worth my while.

Fat Quarters and jelly rolls to me are most useful

I buy FQs, charm packs and jelly rolls. I'm getting better about buying yardage, but I too, swap money for time saved.
