That would not work for me, but it might work for someone else. It would depend on what kind of quilts you make and what sizes fabric you already have. I prefer to keep yardage on magazine boards, placed upright on shelves. It would be difficult to use it for borders or bindings if I cut it into 10" squares, and I think there would be more waste when I cut the squares up for patterns that weren't designed to use layer cakes.
