I didn't buy any precuts and felt the way many of you do. Now I buy the precuts for my charity quilts, because they finish so much quicker. It's a great chance for me to work with colors and combinations I wouldn't normally choose and I get to donate the finished project. Most of them have turned out really well. I will soon have my quota of charity quilts finished for this year and will go back to working on the quilts I choose the fabrics, did the cutting, etc. I have developed a new respect for the precuts.
