    I just never bought any of them either because I never saw the point. I buy yardage and then cut it up. Some people love the precuts, just depends on what you do and how you like to do it. I have never bought any and I only once bought a bundle of fat quarters, when I buy small stuff of something I like I always regret that I didn't buy more.lol

    That is a lot like me. I bought the first charm pack two years ago to make a tote bag from. I didn't do it and now I don't want one from it. Two of the others were gifts. Another was a freebie at the quilt shop I was at for retreat and I bought the other two so I would have more of two of the ones I was given. See....I don't buy them either.

    Funny thing is I love scrappy quilts. I do buy fat quarter collections with that in mind but mainly they just sit in a drawer until I start pulling from them for other stuff.

    I have a pattern I made up that uses a jelly roll and several charm packs and makes an almost twin size quilt. I don't think I have a pic of one though and I'm going to make another one and turn it into an actual pattern since I've never seen another one like it.
