I am a huge Bonnie Hunter fan but (confession coming) I buy yardage - sure I have a few precuts in my stash but I like to get a yard or 3 or 5 if I like a fabric or find a bargain price. And I cannot make myself cut a piece larger than a fat quarter into strips or squares. What I do is cut strips and squares from my yardage but leave as much as possible in one big piece. Maybe I will evolve into a true Scrap Saver System devotee, but for now...
