So many of you mention MSQC as a great place to purchase charm packs and layer cakes, but to be honest, I have the same problem with any I have purchased from them and LQS as they are seldom five or ten inches; they are always LESS and then you have to adjust your entire pattern accordingly. I'm going to give up buying them just for that reason. The only advantage is the variety and coordination of a fabric line and the cutting already done for you. I would rather purchase a 20 fat quarter bundle for $65.95, and cut my own charm and layer cake squares and get the size they are supposed to be. I can get 2 -10" squares and 4-5" squares (& some left for stash) from a fat qrtr so would get 40-10" and 80-5" squares, which is almost equal to one layer cake pack and two charm packs that would each sell for $34.95 (x3=$104.85), almost a $40. savings and I still have the variety of 20 prints that a pack would have. To my advantage of the fat qrtr bundle is I can prewash them and you can't easily prewash precuts, I am a prewash person because I want the shirinkage done before I start. That is my opinion, and I'm sticking to it. If I deem correction, I accept constructive criticism.
