I have found the pre-cuts to be cut incorrectly. I'd rather go thru the time and effort to cut my own after I've starched the heck out of them. Plus this gives me scraps for scrappy quilts later. Of course when I know I won't use that fabric ever again, then maybe I'll buy them such as the pre-cuts for the Crystal Star by Jinny Beyer. As there were 150 different fabrics for that pattern, it just seemed smarter to buy the pre-cuts as she gives more than you need anyway. Have enough I might be able to make the smaller version of the same pattern. Not a bad deal then.
