I absolutely love precuts. I do mostly charity quilting, and can whip out an adorable quilt in a pretty short time using precuts. I have lots of free patterns for them. I usually get Kauffman or Moda, mainly because the quality fabric is there. Then I scout around for matching fabric for the backing and borders. I have a local store who has good prices and can usually find fabs to match my existing precuts. I love getting layer cakes and can then cut them into 4 charm packs. Each person has their own special way of quilting and the designs they like to use. I only occasionally make a fancy quilt, enjoy the speedy ones. And I quilt them on my long arm with a simple meander. I love to see the variety of designs in a collection, and this way I get to use them. Most stores only carry a very few selections of a collection.
