Jelly rolls & charms
#13
Love, love, love them. Just made an entire quilt top in just a few hours yesterday with one jelly roll. I have made a handful of things with charm packs. I just ordered a layer cake and got a free pattern from the Moda Bake Shop for a baby quilt.

I hate to pay extra for someone to cut the fabric for me. I've never purchased a jelly roll for that reason -- you are usually paying at least 50% extra for the fabric. I'd rather buy 1/8th yard of each.

I have bought a few jelly rolls and charm and not used them yet. Trying to collect for retirement, etc. but see so much done with them. I have used 10" Layer Cake squares and just love those. I like to do large squares and makes up quick. I made up my own design from this pattern

I love pre-cuts. As a newer quilter, I can create a scrappier quilt without waiting years to collect all those scraps! I've worked with charm squares, layer cakes and jelly rolls and don't really have a preference. I like how it's a little bit of the entire line of that particular fabric design. It's a bit of a preview too, as when I find a fabric in the line that I just have to have, I then go buy it in yardage.
I'm afraid I don't understand the comment of paying 50% more for cutting the fabric, I've done the math and it's pretty equal with our yardage prices. I guess it depends on where you are.

I use jelly rolls and layer cakes (10" squares) more then fat quarters. I quit buying fat quarters. I would rather have the jelly roll. The price for a piece of every fabric in the fabric line you get with the precuts is less expensive then buying 1/4 yard of each one and cutting yourself.
