I do a lot of charity quilting, so precuts are my friend. I get a lot of variety in colors and designs that I would not ordinarily buy. I used to buy charm squares, but never seemed to have enough for the project in mind, so now I buy a layer cake and cut it into charms...voila 4 charms sets a couple $$$ cheaper than just buying the charm squares. I love Green Fairy Quilting.com for precuts, no shipping costs, and quick delivery. They have some great specials, and always the newest collections. I love getting batik jelly rolls, so much fun to just touch and admire all the color choices.
