Which is more useful for your projects?

I've never bought charms or layer cakes. I do have three batik jelly rolls that I'm going to use one of these day....
I guess I just prefer to cut my own stuff. And I also like to pick out my own fabric. So many times in charm packs and layer cakes there's fabrics in them that I just don't like.

I am another who has never used them. I refuse to pay the ridiculous prices. Fabric has traditionally been sold by the yard. I refuse to pay 3-5 times the price to have someone cut squares or strips that may not be the size I want to use. I don't even like paying for fat quarters, but at least they are usually a little closer to yardage prices and more versatile in what I can do with them.

I don't like jelly rolls, charm packs or layer cakes. I like to choose my own fabric. It is limiting to buy precut fabric. When I buy something I don't alway know what I want to do with it. I have much more freedom if I buy yardage.

I rarely buy less than a yard of fabric at a time. This is just me though, because precuts seem to be very popular. (I also fear cutting wrong and not having enough fabric.) I like coordinating my own colors (even if they're not great) rather than using someone else's choices.
