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.

I'm going to refuse to open another thread on pre-cuts until people think of new things to say about them. It's like Groundhog Day (the movie) around here.

Is your avatar also an appliqued quilt?

I love them would never be able to afford the variety of fabrics from a range all matching, they are lovely to use with no waste. They also inspire me to do a range of patterns. Have bought mine from MSQCQ. All really lovely.

About five years or more ago a dear friend gave me a gift basket of individually tied fq's... needless to say they are still tied and in the same basket... they look so lovely, I can't bring myself to cut them up.
