24 Apr Smash Your Precut Stash!
Hi everyone and welcome to my stop on the Smash Your Precut Stash blog tour! Isn’t this the best idea for a book!
I don’t really think of myself as someone who can’t resist a good precut but this picture of some of my precut stash tells a different story.

| “some” of my precut stash |
Well, if your stash of fat quarters, charm packs or jelly rolls is getting a bit out of hand, Kate and Elizabeth of Seams Like a Dream Quilt Designs have a solution for you.
Each quilt in the book is designed for use with a specific precut, but the authors have also given instructions for how to cut other precuts if you’d prefer to use them. They’ve also provided advice on how to choose the background and coordinating fabrics to use with your precut.
 |
| Picturesque |
Two of my favorites from the book are Picturesque and Mediterranean Mosaic. Picturesque is made using charm packs and Mediterranean Mosaic uses fat quarters. Aren’t they pretty?

Posted at 16:42h, 30 AprilI love FQ's but if I want smaller pieces I'll usually grab a charm pack. I don't seem to use a lot of layer cakes though. This book looks great and I really like the Mediterranean Mosaic quilt. Thanks for the chance to win!

Kathy E.
Posted at 01:51h, 28 AprilI love all pre-cuts! Whoever came up with that idea is a genius! My favorite is the jelly roll. I like to take them apart and reorganize them into separate bundles for different projects. Plus, they are so easy to handle.

Betsy
Posted at 13:01h, 25 AprilA layer cake has so much potential.
Enny
Posted at 13:01h, 25 AprilMy favorite precut is fat eighths. Not as expensive as a fat quarter bundle but large enough to make all sorts of patterns with them.
Amy
Posted at 12:51h, 25 AprilLove charm packs!!!
Karen
Posted at 12:26h, 25 AprilI buy mostly fat quarters because I can cut many shapes and sizes from them.

Janet M
Posted at 10:11h, 25 AprilIf I do buy a precut, it's usually a FQ bundle. They work well since I usually go scrappy when I make a quilt. Never gets boring!
PT in SC
Posted at 08:27h, 25 AprilI use mainly fat quarters, because I am a prewasher! Thanks for the giveaway!
Beth
Posted at 08:19h, 25 AprilFat quarter bundles are my favorite to use, but charm squares are hardest to resist–probably because of their size and price.
Ellee
Posted at 05:55h, 25 AprilFat quarters are my favorite because of their versatility. Every precut has good purposes. I use charms, jelly rolls, and layer cakes a lot. — soparkaveataoldotcom

Posted at 05:29h, 25 AprilI love layer cakes – they are so fun.
Anna
Posted at 04:06h, 25 AprilDefinitely fat quarters – so versatile, but I also stash offcuts and scraps as 5" squares
LeAnne
Posted at 02:34h, 25 AprilI like FQs and layer cakes so I have the ability to cut smaller pieces fromthem.
Cecilia
Posted at 01:05h, 25 AprilI like fat quarters the most, but I like all the other precuts, too. It is just nice to have some of the cutting already done for me. Thanks for the giveaway.

Lisa Marie
Posted at 18:35h, 24 AprilI like to use FQs but buying a whole fabric line bundle is usually too expensive, so I often buy layer cakes.
Linda
Posted at 17:12h, 24 AprilHELLO,I love the Charm packs! All pre cuts are so great though! Thanks for sharing!
msstitcher1214@gmail.com
Kathy
Posted at 17:07h, 24 AprilDefinitely fat quarters. Although I do have some charm packs, a couple layer cakes, and a few candy squares. So I could make good use this book. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Kathryn
Posted at 16:28h, 24 AprilFor larger quilts, I've used several layer cake patterns. I love using lots of fabrics in a quilt, so precuts are great.

Lucinda Miller
Posted at 15:13h, 24 AprilMy favorite is fat quarters — but then I struggle to actually cut in to them because I don't want to mess them up. Maybe a charm pack would be a better option!
Laura
Posted at 14:49h, 24 Aprilfat quarters are always my go-to, because the size is versatile.
Gill
Posted at 14:44h, 24 AprilLayer cakes are so versatile!

Posted at 10:37h, 24 AprilMy favorite is the old stand by fat eighth. I get a wide variety without spending as much as a fat quarter bundle, but can still cut a variety of sizes from it. The layer cake is a close second.
