I won't buy any more precuts unless they are on sale so I don't pay any more than the price per yard. Oh, and I hate the pinked edge on precuts as it makes it hard to get a consistent finished size.

Connecting Threads has great prices on their pre-cuts. If you figure it out, they are really charging the same amount per yard no matter if you are getting pre-cuts or just yardage. They don't have huge selections but if you like what they have you are golden. :D

Almost forgot this one, which was really fast and easy!

Wow I like those. What is that first one called? I was just imagining a bunch of strips sewn together. But these are impressive.

That pattern was called "Spangled" by Cozy Quilt Designs.
