New Season of Sewing With Nancy Kicks Off with Precut Fabric Projects
Specialty cuts of coordinated fabrics wrapped in a bundle, are a common, convenient way to test out a new fabric line. I think of these bundles as a gift of potential! But that potential can be elusive if you’re hesitant to untie the ribbon and create something special. On today’s episode of Sewing With Nancy, Maria DeGroot, a teacher who specializes in making quilt projects from fabric bundles, joins us. Watch the first episode of this NEW! three-part series—Precut Fabric for Speedy Projects.
Before her monthly quilting club meeting, Maria searches for a bundle of precut fabrics. She dreams of what could be made from the stack of 40 cuts, then she puts that dream into reality. Bundles of 5″ squares are an ideal starting point for a quilt. Most of the fabrics used in our featured projects were precut! You don’t need to make decisions on which fabrics go together. Plus, most of the cutting work is complete.
Precut Reference
We’ll be using precut fabrics throughout this three-part series of Sewing With Nancy. If you’re curious what we mean by “precut fabrics,” here’s a quick reference:
- 5″ squares: Charm Packs or 5″ Stackers
- 10″ squares: Layer Cakes, Ten Squares, or 10″ Stackers
- 2-1/2″ squares: Mini-Charms
- Fat Quarter: 18″ x 22″
- 2-1/2″ strips: Jelly Rolls, Roll-ups, Design Rolls, Rolie Polie
- 5″ strips: Dessert Rolls, Charm Rolls
- 1-1/2″ strips: Honey Buns, Skinny Strips
- 6″ triangles and hexagons are also available, but not in this series
Charm Pack Scramble Quilt
By mixing one charm pack and two pieces of cut yardage, cream and rose, the first quilt creates a very orderly random quilt. Sounds like a paradox, but the random placement of each 5″ square keeps the quilt moving and coordinated while the rose and cream fabrics bring order to the design. Marie will show us how easy this quilt is to make on today’s episode.
Charm Pack Scramble Variations
It’s amazing how cutting a basic 9-patch block into four sections and then shuffling the components can change the design of a quilt block. Now expand that concept, making a Charm Pack Double Scramble block. It’s a super-sized block that looks complicated, but that’s easily created by thinking outside the box. You won’t want to miss the magic on today’s NEW! Sewing With Nancy episode.
Maria and I show you how to assemble and stitch the basic 9-patch block. It is the stepping-stone for a much more complicated-looking design. Notice, I said “complicated-looking.” Of course the actual block couldn’t be easier!
Fours the Charm Quilt
Stitch four, 5″ blocks together into a traditional arrangement, then see what possibilities await you. A simple cut from point to point and the addition of a strip, turn what was once a basic 4-patch block into the Fours the Charm block. See how easy it is to cut and add the strip on today’s new episode, Precut Fabric for Speedy Projects on Sewing With Nancy.
Basic block construction coupled with a secondary cut or two is the key to producing interesting quilts with charm packs. Give it a try!

Nancy , I love to buy cake packs, charm packs an jelly rolls . They offer endless possible quilt projects. Which the book would help use my stash .
dac
Charm packs and jelly rolls are the precuts that I purchase most frequently… but they are all so convenient, and they cut way down on the time spent with larger pieces of fabric. 🙂
Nancy Willits
I usually buy 5 inch charms but jelly rolls are my next choice! If I don’t win this book, I am going to buy it. What a great way to use pre cut fabric!
Linda Gless
I seem to buy charm packs and layer cakes most often. I feel the layer cake is the most versatile because it can be cut into 5 ” squares, 2 1/2 ” squares, 2 1/2″ strips and can be used for more precut patterns than any other size.
Bernadette
I have purchased mainly 10″ layer cakes, but have some 5″ charm packs too. All still in their wrapping, waiting for me to decide what to do.
Luann Myers
I use a lot of fat qu

So far I’ve only purchased fat quarters. Your book is a great stepping stone to trying out the other precuts available. Good luck everyone!
BevM
Just like Nancy’s comment, I have a bundle of lovely batik fabrics fat quarters “tied with a ribbon,” waiting for the perfect quilt design. Hopefully, I will find inspiration in this series.
Karen Hettling
I’m new to quilting and have only constructed one quilt so far. It was not made with precut fabrics, but the “Fours the Charm” quilt has definitely captured my interest in the precut fabrics!
Cindy Goldammer
I love Jelly Rolls, 2nd place are charm squares.
Susan Spiers
Fat Quarters- a lot of bang for your buck! Thank you, Susan

Fat Quarters. I’ve made a jacket and apron. I also use them for machine embroidery projects.

I love charm packs. Thank you for the give away.

Cathy Davidson
Love the layer cakes and have made several quilts using a plain and a patterned set of 10 layer cakes.
Cande Gordon
I most often purchase Jelly Rolls and Charm Packs. I love that the fabrics are already matched up for me. Many times fabrics are included in the pack that I probably wouldn’t have picked myself.
Nancy
I started off collecting charm packs, but now I am buying more jelly rolls and layer cakes. I can’t resist pretty fabric!
Marla
Many Fat quarters, jelly rolls, mini packs.
Sunni
I have a basket of fat quarters that needs to be used up. However, I am enjoying charm packs and I love the coordinated colors. The 1st quilt shown is an attractive way to use these “on hand” fabrics.
Jan Ringer
I often buy precuts because they arr pretty or on sale! These ideas will help me make some lovely quilts.
Peg G
I find fat quarters wander into my shopping cart most often and then beg to be used in my next project.

KathleenC
I like fat quarter bundles.
Pandora
I use layer cakes the most and often combine them with jellyrolls for the most versitility.

Karen
I have a lot of fat quarters but most recently I have started purchasing jelly rolls and 10″ squares which can easily be cut into charms.
Judy
I love fat quarters and jelly rolls. I am intimidated when it comes to picking out fabric for a quilt so it is my way of knowing for sure that things will match and look good.
Elaine Chapman
I am a beginner quilter and choosing fabric is a dauntless task. The only quilting fabric I have bought is jelly rolls because of their coordination, but have yet to make anything with them. They are so pretty I don’t want to make a mistake by choosing the wrong pattern. I would be so grateful to win this book to point me in the right direction. Thank you for this opportunity.
Ann C
Hi Nancy,
I purchase charm packs and fat quarters mostly. I have actually made the bodice of a dress for fall with an Autumn-inspired charm pack, and a lovely handbag with a sewing-themed charm pack. They both turned out great (the dress bodice was a little tricky) and I have had many compliments on both projects. I think I would like to try the Fours the Charm quilt for my next project. I’m a beginner quilter, so I think this would be an easy intro to quilting. Thanks for all your shows over the years, and thanks for the opportunity to win this book. I look forward to the new season. 🙂
Mary Lou
I have a box layered with layer cakes and when I get at them, some beautiful quilts will bloom. They can be used whole or subcut for accent pieces, all coordinated. Whoever developed this idea to promote a while line of fabrics is a genius.
Crystal
I used to be a fat quarter only kind of gal, but have recently started venturing into a layer cake or 2, a jelly roll or 3, and a charm square or 7!
Jean
I have an abundance of fat quarters, followed by charm packs…and a beautiful jelly roll waiting for the right project! But I noted the previous comment about layer cakes, as it made me think of them in a whole new way!
Vickie Bell
I like all precuts! I seem to have a lot of charm squares and also participate in a birthday FQ exchange at the local quilt guild
Linda
Over the years I have bought lots of charm packs. I looked on Moda’s Bake Shop to find patterns to make with charm packs. Maria I like what you have done with these pre-cuts.
Kathy Luehrs
I love jelly rolls
Margaret Scott
I love Maria’s variety of ideas. I have purchased charm squares, layer cakes and jelly rolls. I enjoy cutting my own fabric but every once in a while an easy quilt with precut sis great.
Terry
I normally purchase fat quarters as precuts. I’ve been afraid of running out of a print during a project and fat quarters seem safer. Besides, it’s more fabric!
Linda Faye
This will be a very helpful series for me. You know how a girl can’t pass up pre-cuts then ends up with a big stash of charm packs, fat quarters and jelly rolls. Thank you for the opportunity to win the book for this series. Linda from TN.
Jane Farrar
I started with charm squares, fat quarters and ten inch squares, but now with directions from Nancy I am expanding my horizons!! This book sounds great!

I like to pick up fat quarters when I’m on a shop hop as I can always use them in purses, tote bags, jackets and quilts.

Yvonne Mosley
I love all the pre-cuts but most often purchase the five inch charm packs. Excited to see this series.
Pat
I love 2 1/2″ strips on a roll. Not sure where “jelly roll” came from but these strips are so useful and give me the security I need that the colors and patterns really coordinate well. The new series is so interesting and helpful I look forward to the next two episodes. Thanks for the chance to win the book.
Mary Mortland
I most often used strips for precut projects.
I have also used charm packs
Vivian Wike
I adore charm packs and layer cakes. My creative juices flowing while dreaming of the finished product! Thanks for the contest…best wishes to the winner!
Anita P.
I buy fat quarters and layer cakes. There is no suck thing as too much fabric, and I’d have more than enough than be short.

M C.
I have a collection of different size, 5″ charm and jelly rolls and some 10″, but I haven’t done anything. This serie and book will help me a lot!!! Thank you Nancy, you are so talent and creative .
Voni Ensley
I use charm packs and jelly rolls. Like to use them together
Laura
If I buy precuts, it will be fat quarters as they give enough fabric to work with and an ability to work with more patterns. I also like to pre wash my fabric, which is not practical for the smaller precuts.
Daniela M
I prefer fat quarters the most.
Donna W
I like to make smaller projects and find that I use charm packs the most. But, when making larger projects, I use layer cakes a lot.
Laura B.
I buy mostly fat quarters. They’re pretty versatile and I can have a nice assortment of fabrics for projects without breaking the bank. 🙂 However I recently bought some jelly rolls on sale to try, so this is very timely for me.
Jade
I love jelly rolls, but take the time to literally soak the strips in Best Press and hang them to dry on a drying rack in my bathtub, making the strips stable and sturdy to work with, resulting in precision seams and blocks.
Sue
Prefer 10″ squares or jelly rolls. For what I want to make, they’re more economical than several charm packs.
Barbara Cunningham
I like charm pacs, layer cakes and jelly rolls the most. I am new to quilting (beginner) although I have sewn for over forty years. I enjoy your programs and look forward to the new season.
Lillian K
I buy mostly fat quarters and 5″ charm packs. This book looks great .
Starla
I sometimes buy jelly rolls — the 2 1/2-inch strips are very versatile!
Patti King
I’ve never bought and put together a charm pack, but it looks like fun. I could possibly get into quilting with this kind of a time saver!!
Karen Misner
I buy mostly fat quarters, But I have a little bit of all the different size precuts. They are fun!
Anne
I purchase more 5″ charm packs. I make quilts for children and the size is most useful.
Denise Penn
For me, it’s usually jelly rolls! I prefer to buy yardage so I have more choices when it comes to cutting but there’s just something about a jelly roll!
SuZanne
I buy jelly rolls and charm packs the most, but love all precuts for quilting.
Sharon
I usually shop for charm packs. But I’ve gotten into the 2 1/2″ charm packs. I think they are so cute but I’m having a hard time finding patterns for them. Have a few jelly rolls but waiting for just the right quilt.
Mary D Gugler
I have most often used jelly rolls, but I am excited to try some of the layer cakes. Thanks for the inspiration!
Liz Kuntz
I love all precuts but layer cakes, charm squares and Fat Quarters are my favorites!
Barbara Kahn
Jelly rolls -lately playing and trying to use what I have !
Ann Scott
I have a number of jelly rolls I need to use; your inspiration is just what I need to get started!
Traci Y
I actually buy what catches my eye at the moment and I have some off all types of precuts that are waiting for action. What great ideas that utilizes them in simple but interesting ways!
Rosie
I have to admit, that I haven’t yet bought any precuts. I usually buy fat quarters, and yards of fabric when making a quilt. I wasn’t sure what to do with other cuts. So this book would be a fantastic inspriation for me to get started using these cuts. Thanks Nancy for another great giveaway.
laura
I have a large stash of charm packs and layer cakes,
Linda
I have quite a few jelly rolls but my favorites are layer cakes. So many ways to cut and combine them. Love your ideas!
Mimi2
I have several storage drawers full of 5″, 10″, and 2-1/2″ precuts. I use the 2-1/2″ mostly for sashing and binding and the 5″ and 10″ in making squares. I recently completed 3 patriotic lap quilts that will be used on an Angel Flight going out of Ohio in September. The precuts really speed up the process. Looking forward to the show.
Nanette Edmonds
I tend to buy fat quarters, but then if I know I’m going to need something with charm packs, I might buy 10″ stackers and cut them because I have found it cheaper.
Suzanne Gross
I love using jelly rolls–many of which I have made myself from my ever growing stash.
Gaila
After a long break from quilting I am ready to pursue this hobby again. So much has changed though! I love finding free patterns and videos online and am ready to take the next step: buying and sewing with pre-cuts. I will begin with a charm pack, a jelly roll, and the 10 inch squares. I want to make one of Nancy and Maria’s charm quilts!
Cheryl Fabiano
I have mostly used charms and jelly rolls but I recently bought a layer cake that I am going to use for a paper piecing project.
Melissa
I buy mostly yardage, because you can never have enough fabric and I don’t always know what I’m going to make with it. When buying fabric online I like to get a charm pack first so that I can see the actual colors and quality of the fabric before committing to yardage. Fat quarters are fun so I can have a variety of fabric.
Susan Nicol
I tend to buy 10″ squares and fat quarters.
Judy P.
Love those jelly rolls. Can’t beat them for versatility.
KayZee
If I buy a pre-cut it is usually a fat quarter but I’m interested in trying others too. This series will give me inspiration, I’m sure!
Robin
I will buy any precut that calls my name!
Bonnye
I primarily buy yardage and occasionally fat quarters. This book would give me the opportunity to try some different cuts.
karen granoff
I buy charm packs the most.
karen granoff
I buy the charm packs the most.
Michele
I love, love, love layer cakes! The pieces are large enough to really showcase the fabric, and easily cut into 4 squares if I decide I want a charm pack – or FOUR charm packs, as it were.
Jane
I love charm packs as well, but fat quarters packs can make me sing! I was gifted 4 fat quarter packs and they are lovely just to look at. Your series will be inspirational! Thanks for all you do, Nancy!
Kathy S.
A dear friend belongs to Nancy’s Precuts Club and raves about this book and the author. How I would love to add a copy to my quilting library. I have several precut varieties, jelly rolls and layer cakes, so this book would get me started on one of the lovely patterns.
Janine A
I like be to buy layer cakes. So versatile.
Faye elliott
I buy layer cakes the most. But, I love all pre-cuts!!
Dixie OBryan
I love jelly rolls
Faye elliott
I buy layer cakes the most. But, I love all precuts.

I love fat quarters and 2 1/2″ strips. Have never used layer cakes. Need to give them a try.
Jan N.
I like layer cakes and fat quarter bundles.
Rosemary
I’ve sewn with layer cakes, charm packs, and jelly rolls. This book would be a welcome addition to my sewing book collection.
Linda Shumway
I’ve enjoyed the strips so much, I’d like to tackle the charm packs.
beth d.
I purchase mainly jelly rolls and 10″ layer cakes. I can make a lot of quilts from both.
Jeantte Hasseman
I really love several of the quilts shown on this news letter. I have a stash of fat quarters and a few 6-8″ strip cuts that could eat up a number of the projects in your book, in addition to 2 grandsons who love the baby quilts I’ve made for them which they have out grown (ages 5 & 10 now). However, they are the perfect age to go through my stash and select fabics for another quilt, each. Being home schooled, they will be able to see the incorporation of math and geometry into the making of their quilts. This would be a great adventure together!
Reneé S.
I enjoy charm packs and layer cakes, sometimes I can interchange the layer cakes into charm packs to get more bang for my buck.
Jackie
I usually purchase the 2 1/2 strips. I bought a lot of rolls before I retired. My husband build a dresser to hold my quilting supplies. I loaded the top drawer with my rolls of strips, not thinking how much they weighed. My drawer started sagging, I had so many rolls in there. 🙂
I am now using up my rolls and welcome any new ideas to use them up.
Theresa Gorley
I usually purchase charm packs or fabric rolls since I’m always in need of a fast quilt.
Diane C
I am addicted to fat quarters — I think they take up half my stash
Glenda
Charm packs, layer cakes and jelly rolls are the ones I buy most. I have a stash
CHARLOTTE KEY
I’m a sucker for strip sets, next would be charm squares.
Nancy
I must confess I have never tried using precut fabric. I think it is something I may like to try as it takes the guesswork and time savings from trying to put fabric together at the store.
jenny boettcher
Fat Quarters or layer cakes/10″ squares……….that way if I wish to prewash; and they shrink a little I can cut them to the size I want,.
I never buy 2 1/2 strips as I had one wonderful jelly roll; and when I went to cut the strips I found that the strips were just slightly off….I showed this to the store clerk; she thought it was a mfg defect in cutting…….but it ruined my whole project as I had other fabric purchased to complete the quilt….which is still sitting in the tote. ……I have not found other fabric to go with the project……Fall batik,Cornucopia.
Patricia Stengel
I purchase more layer Cakes which can be used as is or cut into charms, strips,, tumblers, triangles etc. So versitile. But my favorite precut is still the good old fat Quarter! It is the MOST versitile!
Dana McKee
I purchase fat quarters and charms mostly.
Kay Statom
I love using the layer cake. You can cut it to so many different sizes and have beautifully matched patterns without all the trouble of matching yardage to make your own.
Ruth Henrichs
I have never used a layer cake, although I have purchased charm packs many times. Will have to expand my purchasing!
Julie
It’s a tie between charms and jelly rolls. Both cuts can be used so many different ways. Oh no! Wait! I have several layer cakes in my fabric room. Forgot about those too. Guess you can say I love precuts and sometimes in a pinch will use my own fabric to make precuts, too.
WIN MADDOX
I previously bought only fat quarters; now also buying the 10-inch squares. Only problem I have, I still like to set colors in vinegar and pre-rinse and dry. This does not work if you are wanting to keep a 10-inch square as they usually shrink to 9-5/8 by 9-7/8 inch as a rule…what to do. I was raised to pre-rinse, color set, and dry….oh my, oh my, oh my!!!!
Cindy M
I usually buy jelly rolls but if there’s a good sale I buy everything!! This book would really help me use up a lot of those “sale” fabrics I’ve accumulated behind my hubby’s back!!
Deborah Herold
I am so hooked on precuts, it is like going to the bakery and selecting a variety of donuts, etc. I just got in yesterday’s mail 4 jelly rolls, well 3 and one 1 1/2 roll.of all solid colors, chocolate, grape & vanilla icing! I want to make some jelly roll quilts with the other print jelly rolls I already have and I also am thinking of using them with several layer cake collections and dessert rolls!
I have so many charm packs I need to get busy with all of them making quilts. So this book would definitely help me get to sewing, I don’t need any more fabric! Ha, HA!
I also just finished your autobiography and being born in 1949, and having had cancer of one hip, I suffered many of the same issues during my life as you have, so I feel a close relationship to you.
judy
Being an old seamstress, it is difficult for me to break the yardage habit. I probably buy more fat quarters and getting into the jellyrolls now. I never know what to do with them though so this book would be perfect to give me direction. The magic you’ve done is awesome!!
scarter
I really would like to use up all my fat quarters that I buy when they go on sale. I have one jelly roll that I cannot decide what to do with. I am sure that reviewing your book would give me ideas to use up my stash!
Lynda A.
I love collecting charm packs and mini-charm packs. They are quick and easy to sew into simple projects like potholders, zippered pouches, or easy tote bags. I would love to make the charm pack 1930s Barn Raising Log Cabin Quilt with my 1930s charm packs.
Marsha Dimond
When I buy precuts, it’s mostly charm packs. I make a lot of really scrappy projects & find many ways to use those 5″ squares.
Venita
I mostly use charms but I have also purchased 10 squares
Dawn
I buy A LOT of fat quarters! I find so may use or them.
Lucille
I usually like to have a few solid color white, cream or black jelly rolls to use when making quilts. The quilts go so quickly when I can border charm squares or layer cakes with the jelly rolls instead of having to cut out the strips.
Thanks for the ideas you gave on the video.
Judy G
I usually buy jelly rolls, but have been known to buy a combination of jelly rolls and layer cakes to use in combination for some quilts.
Karen payton
Fat quarters is my favorite bundle. I can cut them down for a quilt or leave as is for tote/zippered bags.
DebbieW
Though, recently, I’ve been purchasing yardage, I have bought more fat quarters than any other precut for my stash.
Barbara Anderson
I most often use Charm packs and jelly rolls. Most of the quilt patterns that appeal to me utilize those cuts. I find the jelly roll in particular can bring different fabrics together in a complimentary aesthetic.
Dakota Rose
I usually buy the 10″ squares. You can cut them any way you want and 1 pak give you a lot of 5″ squares with very little work.
Patty
I use the jelly roll most often.
Sharen B
I’m a charm pack gal. I definitely have a problem with deciding what to do with them once I have them though. I have some of most of the precuts mentioned above in my stash. I’d love to have this book to help me get something done with them!
Judy
I haven’t used precuts much. I bought jelly rolls to use as sashing for a couple of quilts. I have a few charm packs, but no idea of what to do with them. I’m looking forward to getting ideas from this series.
Christine M
I most often purchase Charm packs. But I do have a few Jelly Rolls and Layer Cakes, along with a Fat Quarter bundle or two that I haven’t dared to break into and use. Looking forward to this series!!
Renea Yarolim
This book looks really nice. Thanks for the giveaway.
Merri Lynn Lynn Voss
Charm packs or jelly rolls are my favorites but I would never pass up a beautiful fabric line that is already cut for me no matter what the precut is.
Kris B
I’m a sucker for charm packs!

I like fat quarters the most, though I have a large collection of charm packs too. Thanks.

I love the precuts, they take the guess work out of coordinating. I mostly choose the Charm Packs and Layer Cakes. This is defiantly a book that gives a lot of inspiration!
Karen
I have several types of precuts. I have bought more fat quarters I have made lots of napkins from them.
Karen Tucker
I love precuts, especially jelly rolls!
Brenda L Pedersen
I have lots of jelly rolls, charm packs, layer cakes and even a few mini charms. I really don’t know which I have more of; I’d have to count them!
Linda Buzz
I just signed up for the lecture on pre-cuts at Quilt Expo. I can’t wait.
Gail Beam
I haven’t used them yet, but bought a couple of jelly rolls and some charm square packs. I have tons of regular yardage.
Mary Wippold
Jelly rolls are my favorite precuts. The Jelly roll race quilt is fun and quick.
Mary Wippold
Jelly rolls are my favorite precut. The jelly roll race or fast and furious quilt is fast and fun. It’s my favorite.
Peggy V
Jelly rolls and charm packs are my weakness. I would be able to start sewing as soon as that wonderful new book arrives!!!Thank you for the opportunity to win it!!!!!
Carol
This really interests me. I would love to sew with these coordinated cuts of fabric and do it speedily. Now that’s a win win in my book!
Lois Maciej
Most of the time I use yardage, but have used jelly rolls a few times. If I would be so lucky as to win your book, it would give me an opportunity to try all kinds of precuts which would be awesome. Thank you for the chance to be a winner of your book.
Judy
I mostly buy fat quarters as I think that they are the most versatile of the precuts.
Kim
I like layer cakes because they seem most versatile – but I love them all!
Marilyn Jaye
Precuts made it possible for me to have all the fabrics I love! So I can own the “eye candy” as well as the fabric I know what I am going to do with…after years of guessing how much yardage to buy for an unknown project, joy started with fat quarters and now there are strips and squares, etc, etc. And they save cutting time as well…what could be bad!
L Watson
I often buy yardage, however I have bought
fat quarters also. This new book and series on Sewing with Nancy look fun!
Debra
I buy charm packs and jelly rolls.
Gina M
Actually, I have never bought a pre-cut pack! I’d like to try one and see why everyone loves them!
Sharie
I buy charm packs, and jelly rolls precuts but mostly layer cakes. They are so fun to work with.
Linda Mahoney
Most of the time I buy 5 inch charm packs. I do buy the layer cakes and jelly rolls, but 5 inch charms seem to be the ones I gravitate to! I love this video!
Rosalind Gutierrez
Charms are my favorite and I love the 9 patch variations for a “charming” and quick to make quilt.

I have worked with layer cakes once so am interested in learning more tips and techniques for using all precuts.

I usually buy 10″ squares because they are so versatile and I only have to buy one to make more than one project. I like the cutting part too!
Isabel Olsen
I have cut older, left over fabrics into strips, and now I am hoping I can use some of these ideas for pre cuts to use my many strips and blocks.

I love charm packs! They are fun to have an array of pretty fabrics with which to make smaller projects. I usually purchase a larger piece of coordinating fabric from the same collection so go with the charm pack.
Michelle Hall
I have bought a few of each type of precut and am looking for inspiration on how to use them all. So I can’t wait to see this series
Sandy Gregory
I buy 5″ squares for quilting because I get better fabric colors that match as I have no skills in picking out fabrics. I am going to venture into the jelly rolls next
