I am planning two quilts and was thinking of using Layer Cakes for one quilt since she is wanting blocks (it is my mom so she isn't too picky, lol) and either charms or jelly rolls for the 2nd...haven't decided if I want it blocks or strips.

Also, if you find a pattern of fabric you like, do you just buy a yard or two? I want to stock up my stash but am torn on how what to do....buy a little of everything (charms, rolls, etc) or just buy a yard or two and cut how I want it.

Thanks!

If I find something I really like, I'll buy 4 or 5 yards. I'm working on a jelly roll quilt now--kinda like a rail fence but 5 strips each block.

Just depends on strikes me at the time.
