I do a lot of charity sewing and find layer cakes and jelly rolls a huge time saver, and give me lots of variety. I have even gotten layer cakes on sale, and then cut them into charm squares, giving me 4 sets of charms squares much cheaper than buying four sets. They are wonderful to have on hand for that gift you need on a moment's notice. It would cost me a fortune to try to get all those fabrics and then cut them into layer cakes; can't quite see the point of that. I also have NEVER seen a store that carried the entire line of a collection.
