My precuts have worked out well. I bought at MMSQC where you can see a photo of all the colors included in the charm, jelly roll and layer cake. I made small quilts with 1 and two charms, and one lap quilt with a layer cake and one with 1/2 jelly roll. All turned out well.

Had a chance to buy some jelly rolls VERY cheap. They were alright but really prefer to see the whole fabric pattern. Also bought some pre-cut 5" and 6" squares in Hawaii before they were called charms or whatever. I used them in a quilt but found them very limiting in design.

I guess I am a control freak. Anything that takes the process out of my hands makes me uncomfortable. Also not having 'free-rein' with my own fabric choices bothers me.
Am I the only one who feels this way?

As a newbie, I haven't got a big scrap pile yet...and I guess I want to do everything by myself, including selecting and matching fabrics. I could spend a couple hours lost in Joanne's having a great time, and I just discovered an LQS not too far away which has breathtaking fabrics.
