About the same price as the fabric. The advantage is the mixed selection and no cutting. Honey Buns are an 1 1/2" strips. I think layer cakes are 10" squares.

You can control the quality by only buying from lines you trust like Moda.



Connectingtreads.com does not charge to cut fabric - their charms, etc are priced like their fabric, but some is only medium quality. Not a bad thing, but one to be aware of.
