I have to admit, I do buy precuts, like charm packs. But I always check out the line first. Have 2 jelly rolls that I bought from MSQC - always looking at the picture of included prints. I can't imagine buying a 1/4 yard of each fabric in the line to get the variety. I have a hard time purchasing yards of a fabric and not having more to go with it. Of course I have only finished 1 quilt and have 3 more UFOs that I should finish. Most of these are made with sample squares so only large yardage purchased was for backs and sashing.
