So I just returned from Market and saw all the fun new precuts coming out through the end of October, (and had a little too much fun buying them all for our store) and was curious which Pre-cut is everyone's favorite???? Here are your choices -

Fat Quarter Bundle - a wrapped bundle of fat quarters
Fat Eighth Bundle - a wrapped bundle of fat eighths
Jelly Roll - 40 strips at 2 1/2 inches by 44 inches
Layer Cake - 42 layers of 10 inch squares
Charm Pack - 42 layers of 5 inch squares

Mine is probably the Fat Quarter Bundle because you can make several projects from each one - love 'em!!!

What's yours???

I think the fat quarter bundle but really I like them all - and I always shop at greenfairyquilts.

I prefer yardage. I rarely buy fabric for a specific quilt....so I never know what size to buy precuts.

jljack 05-18-2011 08:16 AM

I have tons of their charm packs. Whenever I need to make a project that I could use a charm pack for, sometimes I decide I really don't want to cut them up, so I cut up big pieces of fabric instead.....oh my....am I turning into a charm hoarder? :thumbdown:

Fat quarter bundle is always so pretty. I made a bed runner using the turnover pack. It was so easy to make.

Lisa_wanna_b_quilter 05-18-2011 08:33 AM

I like charm packs. You get all the pretty fabric and the price is small enough I don't feel guilty.

lovequilts 05-18-2011 08:39 AM

Love your Online store. Buy from you frequently. Charm packs or Fatquarter bundles if I can afford them.

fabric_fancy 05-18-2011 08:41 AM

i prefer yardage.

when i buy precuts its charm packs for my niece since she is too young to cut fabric.

Raggiemom 05-18-2011 08:45 AM

For some reason, I really like the layer cakes and charm packs.

TexasGurl 05-18-2011 08:47 AM

Love the FQ bundles, next probably the Layer Cakes ... they are all great and fun to use ! :)

sueisallaboutquilts 05-18-2011 09:28 AM

While doing a complete overhaul of my sewing room I've discovered that I'm a complete Moda junkie!!! LOL
I have all that you mentioned but the most I have is Charm packs and FQ's.
I loooove Moda!! Just did my first jelly roll quilt and I'm loving it! Not finished but the jelly roll was so nice to work with :)
Also still not finished with my sewing room but it's getting there!!

merry 05-18-2011 09:49 AM

Favorite is layer cake

tealfalcon 05-18-2011 09:50 AM

Do I have to pick just one hehe.....I love them all.....and I am def a Moda junkie. If I had to pick I guess it would be jelly rolls or charm packs. I love your store and have shopped there and will def be back

greensleeves 05-18-2011 09:51 AM

Layer cakes, charm packs, then fat quarters. There is so much you can do with layer cakes and charm packs but it is nice when I can afford it to have the fat quarters. I struggle with the jelly rolls in finding patterns I like that use only that size strip. I know you always add to any of the precuts but personally have had better luck with variety of patterns with the layer cakes or charm packs.

BellaBoo 05-18-2011 12:14 PM

I buy more layer cakes then any of the precuts. After buying my first layer cake package I was hooked.

I feel the same way - that's not to say I don't have a ton of FQ in my stash. But I just can't get my CC out of my wallet when I see what it costs to have someone cut my fabric for me - although the assortment you can get is just fabulous...

bnlmom 05-18-2011 12:50 PM

Another Charm pack hoarder here!But I just bought my first Layer Cake so who knows....

quiltsRfun 05-18-2011 01:12 PM

You mean I have to choose just one? I like them all. LOL

CoventryUK 05-18-2011 01:16 PM

Love, love,love Jelly Rolls! But would be happy with any Moda!!!!

CarrieAnne 05-18-2011 01:44 PM

I love the charms, I can afford them the easiest!

Right now I am into jellyrolls. I need fast backgrounds for my applique. I cut them and string them as they all go together so well or I use them in log cabins. When necessary I will get a layer cake to "go with" the jellyroll.

Moon Holiday 05-19-2011 03:16 AM

For me it depends on what I'm planning on doing.... lately I've been getting FQ bundles.... but for patchwork bags or clothing I will use lots of jelly rolls or honeybuns (will a few larger pieces to finish item where precuts are too small).

drdolly 05-19-2011 04:10 AM

fat qtr. bundles.

fairydawn 05-19-2011 05:12 AM

I probably have boughten more of the fat quarter packs or charm squares than any thing else. Love Moda!

Jo Mama 05-19-2011 06:09 AM

I love charm packs

QuiltforPD 05-19-2011 06:13 AM

I usually can't aford the fat quarters so I like the charm packs. It is a good way for me to see if I like the faric all together and then I buy yardage of the ones that I like the best.

lindy-2 05-19-2011 06:24 AM

jelly rolls then layer cakes and charm packs

AnitaSt 05-19-2011 07:55 AM

FQ bundle if I can afford it, but usually buy layer cakes. Have used the charm packs but like the versatility of the bigger squares.

AskaGirl 05-19-2011 08:04 AM

I've got a quilt in the works using a FQ bundle, and would do it again, but I'm addicted to the charm packs. I found that even for my big quilt project, that I pulled bits of the charm packs (different lines) to coordinate.

matraina 05-19-2011 08:37 AM

I like the charm packs and the jelly rolls because they have a coordinating collection without having to buy all different yardages.

krisgray 05-19-2011 08:43 AM

I love FQs but have never bought a bundle from the mfr'r - just too much money all at once and I ilke picking out my FQs. I find that I rarely like EVERY print in a single line.

The precut that I purchase most often is a charm pack. It's the perfect spontaneous purchase - low cost, no particular project in mind, just like the fabrics, like buying individual FQs.

TJDesigns 05-19-2011 09:16 AM

i like layer cakes - piece of cake pattern so easy and fast. I also like jelly rolls so many patterns to do with these and easy.

georgia 05-19-2011 09:59 AM

I LOVE them all. I use charms and then add some of my own fabric to make them go a little further. I made this for a child in the hospital and throught it was a little short. I just added part of a panel.

I just got a pack of fat eights and think that will be fabulous.

Dee Dee 05-19-2011 12:49 PM

Jelly Roll.

Jennifer22206 05-19-2011 02:01 PM

I like the charm packs. Layer cakes are awesome too. I know about paying for convenience, but I can't justify that much money for a FQ pack.

Marty K 05-19-2011 05:12 PM

layer cake and charm packs are my favorites

karenpatrick 05-19-2011 06:11 PM

I like the jelly rolls, layer cakes and charm packs. I have never bought the fat quarter packs and the honey buns.

YukonViv 05-19-2011 06:15 PM

I love fat quarter bundles.
My wallet loves charm square packs.

mamaw 05-19-2011 06:16 PM

I usually chose the layer cakes, though I have purchased some charm packs and jelly rolls.
