Yes, I think all of the quilts I've done (except the first one) have been done with precuts (jelly rolls, layer cakes, charm squares). I think the reason this one was such a bear was because all of the pieces are 2" finished sizes and I also had to use some yard fabric that I rotary cut myself for the neutral cross areas. So the mix of my 2.5" strips with the 2 and 9/16" strips was difficult to work with. I tried to have a little of the pinking extend beyond my neutral strips, but...well....it was an experience.
