I think there are those who will always love, & prefer, precuts. I love charm packs, but only if it's a pretty, well coodinating mixture, & pretty, of course. So far, any of the other cuts I have seen are way to expensive to even think about buying. I actually prefer to buy fqs & half yds, or bigger pieces when the price is right, & do my own thing. I don't mind precuts per say, but they should be alot cheaper to buy, after all that's not manual labor & how much fabric does on actually get, give us all a break, I say!...

Hmmmnnnn.... Let me see. If you divide width of fabric (say 40" wide) by
2.5 inches, you get 16. Then divide one yard which is 36" by 5 inches and you get 7 (and a smidgin) rows. So now you will have 16 x 7 pieces = 112 per yard.
8 packets of 40 pieces measuring 2 1/2" x 5" will give you 320 total.
As I figure this, you are actually getting only 3 yards of fabric, plus some
patterns, and a couple large pieces of fabric for the grand amount of $46 !
Now that is an expensive project in my estimation, or am I wrong in my
measurements?
