Thank you for the kind words regarding the quilts I made.

These are made for my nephews and my DIL. So it is important the quilts are nice and feel nice.

I think if you like the color and pattern you will be fine with it. Just besure to feel the fabric. I find the bolt fabric varies alot in quality but sofar the precuts I have bought have been consistent and they seem to hold up fine. I have just ironed them and then cut. So I did not prewash. I washed after the quilts were done, warm and tumble dry crisp. I like the crinkly look. They also have some fun kids prints or the bottom quilt was nice for my young DIL, 19, as it seemed to have some fabrics and colors the younger ladies like.

For bolt fabrics I have been vary happy with the ones made by David Textiles and often the regular cost is under $3 a yard.

I think they will continue the precuts if there is enough demand also they had precuts at our Walmart when they still had fabric on the bolt.
OMG those are so pretty!!! I'm so excited now thanks so much for posting that. Yes it's for a sampler quilt for class but I don't have tons of $ for fabric so this will work great. My hubby is dying seeing me spend so much $ on this :)
