You will have to actually look at the product you are considering. There is no universal amount for number of pieces in a pre-cut bundle. With Moda they usually have 40-42 charms or layer cake pieces. FQ bundles depend on the number of prints in a collection. Other manufacturers are different, some sell charm packs of 20 pieces, or 10 layer cake sized pieces.

I like fat quarters--it's a good way to get a variety of fabrics without spending a lot of money. If I really like the fabric I buy several. I did buy charm packs to make a Twister quilt. Turned out great.

These are all different size pre cuts. Check out www.modabakeshop.com
There is a page on weights & measurements that lists the different sizes.

I personally like the fat quarters. I find I can cut 1 1/2" (honey bun) strips, 2 1/2" (jelly roll) strips, 5" (charm) squares or just about any size from a fat quarter. To me, it is just the most versatile.

I usually do not purchase the percuts. I have found that they are not always cut the correct size. The other reason is that you can purchase the fabric and cut them yourself for a lot less. Grant you if I see a color combination that I just have to have I will purchase precuts then. But Ijust do not purchase a lot of precuts.

I rarely buy precuts, and never have bought less than a fat quarter. I normally buy at least 1 1/2 yards, but for novelty prints will sometimes buy less. I have drawers of strips and FQs from the leftovers of my larger piece purchases.
