I like charm packs for simple quilts. I do find the price a bit offputting, but its really about convenience. I'm not about to purchase a 1/4 yard when I really only need a small square.
I'm making my pinwheel quilt out of 2 charm packs and a white on white. It's turning out beautifully. I love the "flow" of the colors, and I knew what I was getting. There are a lot of websites that let you see all the fabrics in the line at the time with just a click of your mouse

I have 2 layer cakes, both were given to me.

I think they are too expensive. I only get jelly rolls and fat quarters if they are marked down.

It's a good way to buy a fabric collection you love and not have to pay the price for many larger pieces of yardage.

What are candy bars?

Around here fat quarters cost a bundle, I can find a remnant for less and more fabric. I don't buy FQ's or Jelly rolls, but then lately haven't bought any, am trying to use up some of my own scraps and fabrics.

i know that the precut fabric saves some people time, but for me, the measuring, and cutting is one of my favorite parts of the process....and of course, i then have scraps for any future scrap quilts i am going to make......gina

As a newbie I look at these first when in a store but I haven't found a line that I like. I lov batiks but haven't found any of themin thes desert cuts that pull me. I know from what I have read here that I im not into the more normal lines. I really am not a fan of moda.

I love scrappy quilts. The 2 1/2 inch strips can be worked into soooo many patterns. It saves a lot of cutting time.

First I don't have easy access to fabric stores so I have to buy online and it's hard to match fabric on a screen. I buy pre-cuts because that way I know the fabrics will match. Someone has already done the work for me.
