About all I buy are pre cuts. I rarely use the 10 inch squares as it but cut them down to the size I want. I starch and steam the pieces before cutting. It's so much easier to store the big stacks of layer cakes then yardage. The solid color layer cakes are my basics. The beautiful prints all from one design are in one package. I get motivated walking in my sewing room and seeing the baskets and shelves full of pre cuts. Layer cakes, jelly rolls, charm packs, fat eights, fat quarters, mini charms, and all the rest. So nice.
