Hi Peckish, I went right to the instructions and printed them out. This quilt looks great and easy too. Thanks for sharing. I have never bought a jelly roll (charm packs yes) but now I will!
|
I love pre-cuts - you get many different fabrics that all work together - so it looks like you know what you are doing - plus its a time saver - just look for sales and you can get a better price.
|
I've bought them both in the past and love them.
|
I love using jelly rolls, but prefer to cut my own as I have found some purchased ones have a'dip' in the middle, and can put your quilt out. Have not tried charm packs.
|
I only use the precuts: charms, jelly rolls, honey buns, and layer cakes. I love them!

Sometimes it's more practical to buy the precuts if you want a variety of the fabrics because many places, especially online shops, will not sell less than 1/4 or 1/2 yard. It would cost a lot more to get 40 1/4 yard pieces to get the variety you can get in a jelly roll. |

I like them because I know the colors go together. I only buy them when they are on sale. Or sometimes I'll use it as a guide and then buy similiar colors. They are fast and easy to put together.

Use 'em and love 'em... :)

This is amazing. Love it.
