Words can not describe how excited I am to be part of the Moda Bake Shop book Fresh Fabric Treats.
There are 15 authors participating in the Progressive Dinner to introduce you to this new book.
I don't know about you, but I had to look up the definition of progressive dinner.
I didn't even know dinners like this existed.
I live in a small town and we have potlucks LOL.
After this virtual progressive dinner...I am itching to try a real one!

Before I get off on too much of a tangent, let me introduce myself to new readers of my blog.
I'm Vickie.
I have been a sewer/crafter since I was 8 years old. I started with basic Barbie doll clothing and journeyed through cross stitch, crochet, miniatures, scrap booking, card making, cake decorating, knitting and quilting. I settled comfortably into quilting about 12 years ago while I was training to be a dentist. I have been a dentist for 10 years, married 11 years and have 2 lovely daughters. My time is little and precious as you can understand. I have always been searching for ways to streamline my quilting time. And that is where my love for Moda pre-cuts grew. I realized that sewing with pre-cut charm packs, jelly rolls etc. was a much quicker way to get right to a project. I enjoy all aspects of quilting, but make a part of it faster, easier and more enjoyable....I am there!
In addition to helping me sew more efficiently, I have found pre-cuts to really work well for my mother-in-law. Over the last 10 years she has had an increasingly more difficult time cutting fabric. She has had carpel tunnel surgery and the less cutting the better.
Pre-cuts are awesome for this!
They truly are.
With the right pattern she can just sit and sew.
I don't mean for this to sound like an infomercial.
I just really love/believe in jelly rolls and layer cakes.
Can you tell by the picture above?
Where else can you find such wonderful "sweets" without a chance of a cavity??
Oh, Come on, I HAD to put that in there.
{I promise that is the last dentist pun for this entire post}

As I was saying,
I blog my creations and share tutorials to help all moms {and dads ;) } enjoy their quilting time more, the same way I do.

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 600 of 1065 Newer› Newest»I like jelly rolls because they are pre cut! And,they offer a good assortment of the line! Great tour, and congratulations for being a part of it!
I really like the fat quarter bundle because of the way you can see all the colors - nothing to do with the ease of cutting or anything like that.
suezbarnes at yahoo dot com
I like all the pre-cuts! Makes for less cutting! Anything to make a quilt less work !
I don't know which is my favorite pre-cut because I've never used them! I'm working on my first quilt, and I just went and bought fabric off the bolt. It would be so fun to win one of the pre-cuts and see what it's all about!
Jelly rolls and fat quarters are great to work with.
Such a time saver.
I absolutely LOVE Jelly rolls! I am making a quilt with them now and just love, love, love them!
Fat quarters would be my favorite since there's more to go around to many projects. Thanks for the giveaway!
cannons@gmavt.net
Loved your ideas!
I think that my favorite would be fat quarters. I can make a bigger quilt and still have a few scraps left over to make something else. Thanks for the giveaway.
I can't really narrow down my favorite precut. I love them ALL. For different reasons. Can't wait to get the book!
Personally, I love the dental jokes. My sister is a dentist and my husband is currently in his third year of dental school...we love dentists at our house!
Like I said, we are in school and our budget is tight so my favorite precut is a charm pack. They are cheap, adorable and I love that you get a little bit of the whole line. If I really love a line, then I'll spring for a layer cake. Thanks for the chance to win!
ashleykuch@gmail.com
I love fat quarter bundles. When I fall in love with fabrics I like to be able to make more than one project!
Congratulations on the new book, it looks like so much fun - can't wait to get my hands on one! I love layer cakes! Best Wishes!
You are a busy woman! I'm impressed!
being new to quilting i've only used jelly rolls so far! i just love fabrics!
jopsy @ crow bytes (dot) com
I love the pre-cuts too, jelly rolls, layer cakes and honey buns, all so sweet. Looking forward to seeing the book.
Alda, Fl
Well I really like fat quarter bundles the best, but being a little pricey sometimes, I realy find layer cakes a great alternative!
I love jelly rolls, because I can not for the life of me cut 2.5 inch strips straight. I always mess up. Thank you, Moda Fabrics and Stash books for the giveaway.
Hi Vickie! Congrats on getting your lovely work into a book. I have mostly used charm packs which are so great to do different things with, but what I really want to play with is layer cakes. Thanks for the chance to win the book!
I would have to say layer cakes is my favorite - the size makes it economical, easy to cut different sizes . . . then it would be followed by charms as those are really quick to make something! Thanks for such a fun way to build my stash!!
I broken my left arm a year ago into 5 pieces at the elbow - so cutting is very difficult - so all the pre cuts are my favorite now!
maeverm07 at yahoo dot com
I love fat quarter packs. Let me be honest, there's more fabric!!! ;)
I guess i'm a "fat quarter fanatic." I love purchasing them as souvenirs or just when I feel like I can't leave without purchasing a piece of fabric. Thanks for the chance to win. I'm off to visit more of your site!
patjenq@centurytel.net
They don't seem to be as popular, but I absolutely love charm packs! They are so much fun! I feel like their smaller size makes them easier to work with in many different patterns. Fat quarter bundles are my 2nd favorite.
I'm a new quilter, and at the moment jelly rolls are my favorite things ever! They let me have fabric all nice and pre-cut and seem less intimidating than some of the other ones.
i wish i was comment #1 but I won't be the last your projects a great congrats on the book
My favorite is a fat quarter bundle. It's the most bang for the buck and works for bigger projects.
Im not sure I have a favorite precut. I really love all of them for different reason. I think I probably use FQs the most, followed by layer cakes and charm packs.
Congrats on the book.
Congrats on being in the Moda book! I love FQ stacks because there is more fabric to love, and it's more versatile when I don't yet know what I will make with the fabric. I also like the layer cakes.
I seem to collect charm packs... I can get my "fix" with less of an investment! I really do like jelly rolls, layer cakes, and fat quarter bundles, but those purchases are more than just a quick impulse buy! I recognize several of your MBS projects as one that caught my attention when I visit the website. agholland at triad dot rr dot com
I'm a fan of the fat quarter - the more fabric the better. And I actually love cutting!

Oh dear, I've got myself a big muddled and I can't remember if I commented here or whether there was another one on the tour asking what our favourite pre-cut is.
Just in case (please ignore if I HAVE already commented), my favourite pre-cuts are fat quarters. Mostly because I'm a bit of a quilting newbie and this gives me more quantity to build a bit of a stash with.
My favorite precut is the fat quarter because you can do so much with it. My second favorite is the charm packs. I guess I should branch out & try some of the other precuts. I'm sure the new book will have lots of inspiration for that.
My favorite pre-cuts are the layer cake and charm pack. The layer cake gives you 4-charms and can pretty much be used in any quilt. A lot of patterns can easily use a charm square, but I love all pre-cuts. Congrats on the book and the giveaway.
charm packs! its so easy to whie out so many things with them!
I'm pretty new to quilting and have only used Charm Packs, but I've got my eyes on a quilt that uses a jelly roll and I'm excited to try it too!
kellyjo.haines(at)gmail(dot)com
I love jelly rolls and layer cakes. But I probably use charms the most.
what a beautifull yelly rolls,i see somany beautifull things these days, greatings
I like the jelly rolls best - there are so many patterns for 2.5" strips
Fat quarter bundles are my favorite because you can do so much with them!
Ahhh, nothing tastes better than cake, Layer Cake to be specific. I love how you can use it whole, or cut it into bite-size pieces.
valoar@gmail.com
Congrats on the new book. I am looking forward to the release date. I also can't wait to see how you are going to use your scraps from your apple core pattern (they look yummy!!!)Good luck.
I love Charm Packs. They are affordable and easy to use! Love, love, love them :)
My favorite pre-cut would be jelly rolls. They are so versatile. They can be left in strips of varying lengths or cut into squares. Congrats on the book and I really enjoy reading your blog on a daily basis.
This is such a good idea, I have got to add some new blogs to my list, hope to win!
Forgot to say which pre-cut I tend to like, layer cake. Can't beat the versatility.
My favorite cut is the Jelly Roll. I enjoy quilting as I go and that is the perfect cut.
I like the jelly rolls, they're so cute and so versatile.
I love jelly rolls because you can do lots with it.
Wonderful projects. I think the charm pack is my favorite. The pieces seem to be the right size for a number of projects.
My favorite precut is a fat quarter bundle because each fq is large enough to make several blocks and larger sized blocks, there is a variety of colors/prints, and it comes tied with a pretty ribbon!
I like all of them, sometimes it depends on the pattern and then you get that pre-cut that works best with it!! Can't wait for the book!
I like fat quarter bundles the best because I feel like I can cut into them for both small projects and quilts. :)
Well I've never actually used any kind of pre-cuts but would love to try any of them!
disintegratingstarr@hotmail.com
I'm pretty new to pre-cuts and have only used the charm packs although I now have a couple of candy bars that I'm working up plans for. I look forward to trying the rest of the lovely desserts as well though.
Precuts rock!
I would say my favorite cuts would be between fat quarters and charm squares. Each of them you can do so many different things with them.
Congratulations on being a part of such a fun book:)
I love fat quarter bundles. I can make an entire quilt and I don't have to choose the palette. It is already done for me! And I usually have enough scraps to do a small project or two. I have bought many FQ bundles much to the dismay of my DH!
lklebs1 at yahoo dot com
Hi! Congrats on the book - how exciting! My favorite pre-cuts are the charm packs! I love them and love making baby quilts out of them. (they're more like a stroller quilt but so darn cute!) Thanks for the chance!
I love the jelly rolls and I am looking forward to seeing the new book.
I am fascinated with charm packs. I seem to be able to make them into anything. The second would be Fat 1/8ths. There is just enough fabric for applique or english paper piecing.
Congrats on being one of the chefs in the progressive dinner. I love layer cakes!

angie@craftedAngles.com
I think charm squares are great!
Jelly rolls are definitely my favorite! Love all your Moda Bake Shop projects!!
Charm packs and layer cakes! Cute Cute blog! Can't wait to look around! stephaniemmullin@gmail.com
I have not tried any of Moda's precuts yet, but hope i win and so can try some and maybe get hooked!
I only started learning how to quilt last year, so I haven't done too many projects yet (and none with any of the lovely pre-cuts sadly, as of yet either). My favorite though that I like are the charm packs because they are easy enough to just piece together for a project as is...or cut up for smaller pieces to make something a little more complicated! :D I love the jelly rolls though too...after seeing all the fun tutorials on the Moda blog. ;) Hehe! I'd love to win any of these prizes everyone is offering as I know I could find something fun to make with any of them! :)

Congrats on the book!! The fat quarter bundle used to be my favorite. The more fabric the better, right? Lately I have fallen in love with the ease of the layer!
My favorite precuts are charm packs . . . but I just got my first jelly rolls so I am super excite to try that! Thanks for the chance!
I love the layer cakes, because you can cut them just a few times, mix & match, and make some really easy blocks. Of course, I love fat quarters & charm squares, too. Haven't gotten a fat eight, but that sounds way fun!
My favorite is the charm pack right now. Love the smaller size-less cutting for me. :)
My favorite precut is the charm pack. I have lots of friends having babies right now (three this month alone!) And I love giving baby quilts! There is something so classic about basic square patchwork... I think of it as the little black dress of the quilting world.
Congratulations on the new book! I cannot wait to see what's in store! :D
yummy eye candy - I could sure use some of them
I love me a fat quarter bundle, because more is better right?? But I haven't met a pre-cut that I didn't like!
Greetings from Ukraine! I prefer fat quarters, because I can play with them the way I like))) Thanks for this chance! denize@i.ua
My favorite pre-cut has to be layer cakes - they work well with both large and small prints.

I use to be hooked on charm packs. But it just was not enough! I now love layer cakes. They are bigger pieces of fabric and if you cut them up you have 4 charm packs! Dinner is great!
I like fat quarter bundles because you usually have left over fabric, but I also like jellyrolls as there is less cuting.
I love fat quarters and charm squares - the fat quarters so I can drool over all the beautiful fabrics in the line and the charm squares so I can create some designs like the disappearing 9 patch and 4 patch too.
Your mother in law might enjoy having an accuquilt cutter ( the Go or the Go baby) which has all sorts of die cutters to choose from- I am told they are great for pre cutting shapes and are easy to use. I think they would be a nice for all those quilts that use templates and are titchy to cut.
Regards from Western Canada,
Anna
I actually love a jelly roll. I just think they are so versatile. Can't wait for the book.
Good evening from Spain. First of all, congratulations on your book and thank you for inviting us to your blog. I've recently discovered Moda pre-cuts and I fell immediately in love with jelly rolls, they are so versatile and the recipes at Moda bakeshop help very much.
Vickie, It is lovely to meet you. I love pre-cuts as well, and wish that a quilt shop near me carried more of them. I have a had time deciding but I believe that the fat quarter bundle is my favorite. It is one of each of those beautiful fabrics wrapped up for me to open and cut up! I love that! Thanks for sharing so much about yourself!
My favorite precut is the fat quarter. The size of it gives you so many options. Thanks for the opportunity to enter the giveaway!
I love all the pre-cuts. I work with a lot of charm packs. I like how they are inexpensive and have a nice selection. Thank you for the give away.
I love Jelly Rolls because they look so great stacked one on top of the other just waiting for inspiration!
The first Moda precut that I ever worked with was a jelly roll and I have to admit that I am constantly amazed by how much creativity can be wrangled out of a single jelly roll.
Don't get me wrong. I love all of the precuts, but I guess I am just a gal who believes in dancin' with the one that brought her to the party!

i love the charm packs just because I have used them the most. They have some adorable baby quilt patterns for charm packs!
I like charm packs - they are a great size for making half square triangles.
My favorite is the fat quarter bundle because it gives me one of each of the collection. I like to use these for BOM patterns, I'm using Wiscasset for The Farmers Wife Quilt, Martinique for Dear Jane. I used Layer Cake Wrapped in Paisley for the Layer Cake Quilt Along.
My favorite precuts are the fat quarter bundles becuase the possibilities are endless. The more the merrier!
I like a charm pack for the simple reason that it is an affordable way to view all of the fabric in person, then go back and by yardage of my favorite prints in the line!
My favorite pre-cut is the charm pack because I can make a big quilt with say 5 of them without cutting at all.
I don't like cavities but I love jelly rolls.
That jelly roll pic is to die for!! My favorite precut is fqs but I probably buy more charm packs because they're cheapest
I love FQ bundles, but can never afford them. Lately my favorite has been the charm packs. I love them!
I really love Jelly Rolls...so many things you can do with them!!
I like the fat quarters so that I have more fabric leftover after I make a quilt. Its most versitile that way and it leaves room for me to change my mind. :)
looneylaina@comcast.net
I have a hard time picking between the Jelly Rolls and Fat Bundles.....
The Jelly Rolls are so simple and functional while the fat bundles are just so darn versatile!
This blog hop has been really fun and I am enjoying it thoroughly!
jonandjennb at gmail dot com
My favorite pre-cut is the fat eighth bundle. It's just the right amount for most patterns.
My favorite precut? Hmmm... It's a toss-up between LAYER CAKES (which make quick quilts as they are, or can easily be cut into charm squares and other useful cuts) and JELLY ROLLS (which I love to piece end-to-end for binding!).
My favorite pre-cuts are fat quarters. I have never made a quilt with them though. I make a big, casual bag out of 4 different fat quarters that has been hugely popular with my family and friends. I really don't have much experience with precuts. I'm a fairly new quilter. I do want to make a tumbler quilt from a charm pack set.
I like layer cakes. Large enough to do strips or squares and small enough to work with easily.
My fav's. are charm packs and layer cakes. What fun this is. I live in Ohio also. They can make sooo many things. But i just saw a really cute and simple baby quilt just using a jelly roll. I will have to try that one. Love your blog by the way. I always check in. I don't comment much but I love to see your creations.
Have a Great Day.
I've just made my first quilt top, and used Fat Quarters, but the idea of Layer Cakes makes me almost weak at the knees - I could get the seams so much more accurate if my cutting was better...
My sewing machine broke yesterday, so it is all I can do to ooogle other people's quilts, and yours are great! :)
Fat quarters are my favorite pre-cut. I love all the possibilities they allow.
Oh man, how to pick a favourite. I think I would have to say layer cakes, just because you can do so much with them but I love jelly rolls too!
I love the jelly rolls because there is just so much that you can do with them.
OMG - I'm so jealous of you stock of pre-cuts!! I am currently in love with fat quarter bundles because you can do ANYTHING with them!
Sarah
sarahpalya at yahoo dot com
love the jelly rolls and charm squares - what a great combo!
thanks for participating in the giveaway!
i love layer cakes because they are so versatile! emdubroc(at)gmail.com
I love them all, but layer cakes and fat quarter bundles are my favorites! You can do so much with them and there are amazing patterns that use these and sometimes you have leftovers so you can make something else small. Love your blog! Congrats on being in the new book!! Cannot wait until it comes out!
RuthNParadise@aol.com
So far I've only used a charm pack, but would love to try a jelly roll!
rosaliediane at hotmail dot com
Not that I've managed to buy one yet, but the fat quarter bundles look great. The larger prints would have more of a chance to shine I think than in some of the smaller pre-cuts.
i am also new to quilting, i have found a few new blogs to read and patterns to add to my mental list for projects in the future through this progressive dinner tour. thanks for hosting! and congrats on the book.
I love the Charm packs and Jelly Rolls..and love all the floral designs....but what ever everyone designs is fabulous :) Love it all :)
I love the picture of jelly rolls and fat quarters. Looks like quilting heaven! I really enjoy the jelly rolls.
Just love that pile of jelly rolls....YUM!!
My favorite pre-cut is layer cakes and it is nice that it equals 4 charm packs if I wish to use them that way.
Congratulations on getting into the new book...how exciting.
Wow...I can only pick one?? Well...fat quarter bundles, I guess! You can do soooo much with them!! Thanks for this great givaway!
I love layer cakes as you can use them just as they are, or cut them up into lots of different shapes and sizes!
Vickie, I'm having such fun on this blog tour! I really like the fat quarter bundles, although I haven't ever owned a jelly roll to play with. Layer cakes look interesting too. Thanks for a great giveaway.
I love jelly rolls, they look so damned delicious rolled up and ready to use.
layer cakes provide a great base of a designers range - you can turn them into smaller squares, strips and turnovers - very versatile for large prints too.
hard to choose...probably fat quarters!
Wow! this book looks so good!!! I'd love to win a copy! My fav pre-cut i a Layer Cake. Thanks for the chance!
Hi Vickie, Like you I've loved Moda Precuts since they came out on the market. My favourite is the Jelly Roll, but that can also depend on the fabric line. Some fabric lines with big prints can suit Layer Cakes better but on a whole Jelly Rolls all the way. Keep up the great work.
You brought sunshine into my day today with your beautiful work. Thank you so much and congratulations on being in 'The Book'! & right now jelly rolls are my favorite with others to be added.
I love the versatility of fat quarters, but would never turn down a jelly roll or layer cake, of course. Congratulations on the book!
Amanda
I think fat quarters are the best but have recently been enjoying jelly rolls as well. As long as our e-mail is current, doesn't it auto-link when we post a comment? I hate to throw my private e-mail up on an open forum.
I like charm packs & fat quarters. I seem to use those the most. But jelly rolls always tempt me.
I too, love pre-cuts. I hate cutting fabric so they are great. My favorite is probably a layer cake or fat quarter bundles but I have a tendency to usually purchase jelly rolls. So those are up there too! Honestly there isn't a pre-cut that I don't love.
Exciting isn't it to be involved in a progressive dinner and Moda certainly comes out the winner every time. I love the layer cakes for making a quick and easy quilt for the time poor like me!!
After years of struggling with strips that curve in the middle, I am looking forward to experiencing the joy of jellyrolls!
Thanks for the giveaway.
wordygirl at earthlink dot net
i love the fat quarters. mostly, because i love the look of them stacked together like that. also because they are versatile though.
FQs are my favourite... I guess I'm just greedy like that ;)
Congrats on being published - looks like it's going to be a fabulous book!
My favorite pre-cut is charm packs because they work so nicely for small projects.
I love love love precuts
kay_bear52@yahoo.com
Money is tight right now. I love that with a jelly roll and a little more fabric I can make an entire quilt top. I look forward to the day I can buy fq stacks of my favorite fabric lines!
I love fat quarters they give you more options but pre cut is good.
Congratulations on being in the book
Lovely to meet/read you Vicki... my favourite pre-cut is Fat Quarter bundle..... it then gives me lots of options of what to make..... and makes a bit of a stash for me!!
Hugz
I love jelly rolls mainly because I love the way they look all wrapped up! I am a sucker for the marketing! :)
merefleming@yahoo.com
Really cute ideas.
I love charm packs because I love the patchwork look!!
jfletcher82@gmail.com
I LOVe the ease of jelly rolls. :) And look at that huge pile; I would love to dive into those! :D
I love the pre-cuts because you can buy an entired line of fabric without having to fill your cart with all the bolts! And I find that quilt stores do not necessarily carry a whole line of fabic! If I could afford it, I would always purchase fat quarter packs because there would always be leftovers for the scrap collection! Realistically, I have only purchased jelly rolls and charm squares; they are quick and easy to work with.
Love all the pre-cuts. Thanks for the fun dinner plans!!
I love your quilting projects. I'll have to follow your blog! Congrats on being in the book!
I think my favorite pre-cut is the jelly roll... honey buns are too skinny and I'm too new to quilting to know what to do with the bundles!!!!
LOVE THE LAYER CAKES BECAUSE YOU GET A LOT FOR YOUR $$ ! THANKS FOR SHARING!
jldouglas@wispwest.net
I love charm packs and layer cakes. I great way to get a taste of each of the fabrics in that line. Thanks for the generous giveaway. mdwelectric@comcast.net
I love getting fat quarters bundles. They coordinate and after a quilt project there is plently left for applique and scrappy projects.
I would love to purchase Fat Quarter bundles, because then your possibilities are endless. But for my more conservative budget I buy Charm Packs.
Also like your star baby quilt, my sister is making it out of Reily Blake's star fabric.
emyannatgmaildotcom
Choosing just one favorite is so hard, currently I'd have to say the layer cake. I'm excited to find out what your contribution to the book is.
rhianneholmes(at)hotmail.com
what amazing quilters! i've only ever used yardage cuts of fabric and fat quarters for my projects... haven't quite discovered the joy of pre cuts, but you've convinced me to give them a try. don't think i really have a favourite - i love anything pretty! :D congrats on the book too!
The book looks like it is going to be awesome! How great to have so many talented artists in one book! My favorite precuts are fat quarter bundles because they ususally have one of every fabric in the line and there is plenty of fabric to make anything I want!
I really like fat quarters. I feel like there is just so much you can do with them!
bll1707(at)yahoo(dot)com
I love jelly rolls. It's so fun to whip something up using them! Congrats on the book!
mattvaleiler at gmail dot com
Right now, I'm really liking Layer Cakes. I just made a very cute quilt for my new little niece with a Lily & Will Pink Layer Cake. It was super easy! So yeah, layer cakes at the moment! LOL!
I've only ever used charm packs, but I really think I would love jelly rolls. They seem so versatile. Thanks for this opportunity to win.
miscellayneous@sbcglobal.net
I like Moda layer cakes the best. Can't wait to see the book. Reach if I win at isewthe@yahoo.com
I love charms squares. I love you can create quick fun things with them and start sewing right away. Precuts of any kind are fun for this reason, you can see your creation come to life quicker.
I don't know what is my favorite, but its probable going to be fat quarters. next would probably be jelly rolls. They are so beautiful to look at. Anyways, thanks for the chance to win.
Yum. I love a Progressive Dinner! We've had a group of six couples participating in a Christmas Progressive Dinner for 23 years!
I think my favorite would be either charm packs or fat quarter bundles! But... I do love them all!
Sarina
I like the layercakes, because I can get more cuts out of them and have several patterns to use with them. Congratulations on the book. khendrix@dishmail.net
My favorite must be charm packs. I find myself purchasing 2 or 3 of every line I like. They store very nicely in shoe boxes in my fabric cabinet.
I love FQ bundles because they give you the most fabric :), unfortunately they cost the most too so what I Really buy are charm packs. I love the variety and the cost.
I love the fat quarters but that's because I like to take them home and admire them not actually make anything with them. One day I will!
I haven't used any precuts other than charm packs. I think they give you a wide variety of fabric to use. I would love to have a jelly roll some day. IUt would really be a timesaver.
My favorite precut--I love them all but I'll go with jelly rolls for now. :)
FQ's cuz I can do so much with them! Looking forward to seeing your project in the new book.
Hi Vickie!
My favorite precuts are the fat quarter bundles. I'm a more is better kind of gal and don't mind cutting. I'm still not great with piacking out fabrics that go well together for quilts. (I'm a garment sewist too.) I love the bigger bundles with so many choices all prematched.
I haven't really used any precuts other than charm packs. They give you a variety of fabric to use. I would love to use a jelly roll some day. It would save a lot of time cutting.
I love the charm pack. I like seeing all the fabric neatly stacked up.
I love fat quarters because there is usually scraps left from my project. Who doesn't like scraps? However I do use charm packs the most. Thanks for the chance to win!
My favorite pre-cut is the layer cake. I think the price is my main factor, a whole collection of fabric for $35 is pretty unbeatable!
I love layer cakes! Just enough fabric without the cost of the fat quarter packs
I love charm packs. I have made several Schnibbles patterns, and they go together fast.
I love jelly rolls!!! So fun to work with.

I like the layer cakes. If you need 2 fq's you can cut them in half with the other half left over.
I can't wait to see the new book - you are all such talented designers! Personally, I love FQ stacks-I love that you can make a quilt and still have scraps left over to incorporate into another project!
A real progressive supper is really fun. We did one this year at Christmas.
Congrats on the book. Pretty exciting. I like the fat quarter cuts the best just because I have not really made much with the other cuts yet.
My current favorite is the charm pack, although I have used a layer cake. Haven't tried a jelly roll yet but I have one in my stash. Thanks for this great 'dinner' and giveaway.
I love FQ stacks - you can make a quilt and then use all the scraps in other projects!
I love working with Jelly Rolls. I have a jacket pattern that I want to try out and the precut strips are wonderful. Thanks so much for the chance to win a new book!!
its so hard to pick just one favorite precut charm
layer cakes are nice for a top all you need is just the one package and you get all fabrics from the line in wonderful 10 inch squares
charm packs are nice so easy to make a lovely charm quilt {currently working on a king size Fandango = LOVE}
jelly rolls just strip piece and you can make a lovely lap size straight form the package or cut it up and make a nice quilt easy enough
need i say more i LOVE precuts in all varieties

I love jellyrolls - there are so many clever modern quilt patterns that use them.
fat quarter bundles! That way you have plenty to make more than one project! And you can mix and match various lines of fabric
I love charm squares ... like a quilter's snack. great progressive dinner post.
pam! auntpam7ataoldotcom
so excited about this whole moda book...and all of the clever "progressive dinner" entries you and your co-authors are writing :)
I don't have the physical limitations that your MIL does, but I have severe time limitations...and LOVE the pre-cuts for the same reason!!

A agree a FQ bundle is nice,, because you can make it into anything that you want!
i love your blog and designs. i also have made several projects from moda bake shop. thanks.
I can only choose one? Okay, today my favorite pre-cut is the jelly roll. I've got a few to play around with. But I also like fat quarters these days.
My favorite is fat quarters. You can get so much out of them and you are not limited as much as you are with layer cakes or jelly rolls. Thanks for the chance to win.
I love jelly rolls and charms - there are so many strip clubs and strip patterns available and charms are very convenient for scrap quilts.
I love Jelly Rolls and Layer Cakes. Jelly Rolls cause you can sew them together and then cut and mix up and have a easy quilt. Layer Cakes you can make an easy fast quilt bu just sewing them together. Thanks for sharing
I just love jelly rolls! so wonderful to look at!
I love charm squares, they're great for quilts. Thanks for the chance!
Right now I've been working with charm packs and jelly rolls. It's been a lot of fun but I feel I'm ready to graduate to fat eighths!
Having recently gotten a "real job" that requires me out of the house 50 hours a week, I can appreciate the pre-cuts a lot more! I would have to say that the Fat Quarter Bundles are still my favorite though! I love seeing that gorgeous stack of fabric just waiting to be a quilt! Congrats on the book!
I haven't seen any fats 8th's yet -- I will have to keep an eye out for thos but I like the charm squares and fat quarter bundles the best right now (although I do like them all!)
