sometimes it is a real (sanity saver) to spend the $$ for pre-cut applique pieces- only an individual can determine if it's a good value for them- some people look at the extra cost & figure- I can just make those myself...other people look at the pattern & figure- I would never take all the time involved to make those all by hand- the price is worth it (to me) and of course it is a good way to get the exact fabrics instead of using (or having to buy) all the different ones needed. I've done a couple quilts from 'Laundry Basket quilts' and love the pre-cut shapes- they are expensive- but sometimes I just want (instant gratification)
