Layer Cakes?
Ladies,
I don't have enough stash to do anything with and the pattern I want to try next calls for 1 layer cake. I went to a LQS and they only had Kansas Troubles. I'm trying to get away from that because I do love it, but now have 2 made quilts and 2 more to make with that fabric. Where do you purchase your Layer Cakes or where do you recommend I purchase a cake from? TIA- Ginger |
I got one from connecting threads. Really like their fabric there! Never had a problem with their shipping or customer service.
|
A good idea for searching is go to www.quiltshops.com and in the search box, type in: layer cake sale
|
Connecting Threads and/or Keepsake Quilting have a good selection.
|
I LOVE Green Fairy Quilts and they often have fabulous sales on their pre-cuts.

Thanks so much! I'm off to check your recommendations-

You might also check www.fabrci.com. I have done business with them for years and have been delighted with them.
|
I especially like buying my precuts (layer cakes, charm squares and 2 1/2" strips) from Connecting Threads because you don't pay any extra $ for their doing the cutting. Their sales are great. If you are comfortable shopping online, I would suggest checking them out!

|
Connecting Threads is having a sale on Friday. Might want to check it out.
|
Does anyone know anything about Fat Quarters?
Thanks- |
FabricShack.com sells them.
|

I love greenfairy.com. Prices are great and services is just the best.
|
How about the Missouri Star Quilt Compnay. They seem to have quite a supply of layer cakes and charm packs from all sorts of companies?
|
I just buy a third of a yard of fab that I like and sometimes I'm lucky and i can find stuff to corrdinate!

Craft town fabrics, their precuts are always 20% off, having a big sale now because they are closing brick and morter store the 26th. Will be on-line only after that.
|
FatQuarterShop.com is a good source for precuts and for coordinating yardage. I've purchased from them several times and they are very good...and fast. They're in Texas so Texans pay sales tax, but you know you're supporting a Texas business.

missouri star quilt company is the best
|
I do alot of shopping on Missouri Star Quilt, I have been really happy with them. Sign up for their daily deal, they have a standard $5.00 Shipping, I just ordered from the daily deal 44 - 5x5 pieces in gorgeous colors for 85 cents .
|
I've bought several from Ebay and they were very reasonably priced.
|
Also here on the board we have been having a monthly swap of 10 1/2 blocks - a bit bigger than a layer cake, but gives you a little bit of wiggle room :) next one starts in January and will be a stash buster - look for swaps in the swap section

Greem Fairy Quilts is a good place to buy and I think most of the online quilt shops carry precuts. Hancocks carry precuts and seem to have a good price on them.

Yes! If you take the price of their charm squares or layer cakes or strips and figure out how much yardage they equal, it is the same $ as if you bought the fabric by the yard. You get the advantage of the variety of fabrics and none of the hassle of cutting.:thumbup:

When they say no extra charge for cutting are they referring to pre cut ie charm packs, layer cakes etc??
