Saving money is not the point when using pre cuts.

They are great if you want a scrappy kind of quilt. I found they don't work well if you need more of a color.

I love jelly rolls but haven't done too much with charm packs yet. Missouri Star Quilting Company have wonderful video'son them.

I like the jelly rolls and if you buy them from connecting threads they do not charge extra for the cutting....

p.s. I purchased both of these items on sale, so the entire top was less than $46.

Thanks, Peggi, I love this!

This is my favorite project I've ever made with jelly rolls.

If you hate cutting, they are nice. There are many books and patterns that use both. I like them, but mostly use fabric and cut myself.

Missouri Star Quilt Co has lots of tutorials using jelly rolls. I really like their site.

Have you noticed that all the precuts have food names, does this mean we like to eat?
