At February 17, 2012 at 7:47 AM , Brita said...: Fat quarters for me, please! Altho it costs much less to get strips or squares, they aren't as versatile.
At February 17, 2012 at 7:54 AM , Gene Black said...: Of the choices, I would choose fat quarters. however, my real choice is a full yard.
At February 17, 2012 at 7:55 AM , Ellen said...: Fat quarters - I feel like I have more options then for smaller projects like bags, pillows or swap blocks. Thanks for the chance to win! I haven't tried Aurifil yet, but I know lots of quilters who rave about it.
At February 17, 2012 at 7:58 AM , Jeanine The Crafting Fiend said...: fat quarters - more fabric to work with. Although I did enjoy the challenge of a jelly roll the one time I won one
At February 17, 2012 at 7:59 AM , debbie m said...: I find that fat quarters are more versitile and usually my first choice of precuts. I have recently purchased a jelly roll of batiks for a more affordable way to get scrappy into a qult. I've also purchased a few 10" square packs, but have not put them to use. Still trying to figure out what pattern to use.

Thanks for a chance to win this great threat.

At February 17, 2012 at 8:06 AM , Gwen said...: I like fabric-- in any size, shape or color ;-) -- but I think I prefer fatquarters. They're large enough that you can use just about any pattern that strikes your fancy-- plus they're also big enough to use for little outfits for young children-- use one for the collar, one for the sleeves, etc-- cute stuff!!~ :-)

At February 17, 2012 at 9:31 AM , Quilting "b" said...: I try to work with all different pre-cuts. Fat quaters are my favorite but I have a selection of Jelly rolls, turnovers and other pre cuts in my sewing room all the time.

Make sure you stop by and put your guess in my quilt givaway by guessing my babys B-day or Birth Weight.
At February 17, 2012 at 10:50 AM , Leo said...: I have not much to say in that - we are a bit behind the trend of selling cuts here. So I buy by the meter (yardage for you), depending on the stores you can buy in 10 or 15 or 50 centimeter steps. But nothing comes close to the precuts you mentioned. I could get them online for an enourmous amount of shipping...

At February 17, 2012 at 11:23 AM , Bonni said...: I've normally just used fat quarters but have branched out to 10" squares and bought an AccuQuilt GO! so know that strip piecing is coming online soon. I think that fat quarters give you the most flexibility.

One more hobby that has become a status for the rich. Love nice thread too but not for $10 a spool. A give away would be great as I usually buy the budget from the chain stores.

At February 17, 2012 at 2:52 PM , Stephanie Zito said...: I lOVE fat quarters and collecting them! I do purchase layer cakes and jelly rolls but most of my purchases are fat quarters! Thanks for the giveaway!
At February 17, 2012 at 2:52 PM , Anonymous said...: I prefer fq's just in cast there is a mistake made in cutting and I have never used a roll strip. I love the look and the feel of the aurifil thread has on the fabric.
At February 17, 2012 at 2:57 PM , Jane S. said...: I prefer fat quarters. There's actually a lot of usable fabric in an 18x22" piece! If I buy them on sale they're economical as well.

Thank you for the chance to win some Aurifil!

At February 17, 2012 at 2:59 PM , Sharon said...: I prefer Fat Quarters just because I know I have a reasonable amount of material to work with in case I should have an oops. Jelly rolls are growing on me though. Thank you for the giveaway!!
At February 17, 2012 at 3:00 PM , Cathy said...: I love fat quarters, although I have recently started buying charm squares and jelly rolls. But I always go back to fat quarters. I have been a follower for awhile. Thanks for the great giveaway. Hugs

Thanks for the chance to win some Aurifil!
At February 17, 2012 at 3:20 PM , SandyB said...: While I love the precut strips, I will usually purchase fat quarters due to their versatility. Of course, fabrics I love are bought by the yard, since a fat quarter would never be enough.
At February 17, 2012 at 3:28 PM , Karen said...: My choice is FQs, unless I have a specific idea and know that I need the others. Thanks for the chance to win!
At February 17, 2012 at 3:30 PM , Mom2RyandSis said...: I like to by at least a fat quarter! Thanks for the chance to win!
At February 17, 2012 at 3:34 PM , Donna Lee said...: Do u really have to choose just one !I love using them all in different ways , but if i really had to choose just one I guess it would have to be the Jelly Rolls , as I can usually whip up a quilt easily enough with just them .
At February 17, 2012 at 3:43 PM , Maria Kievit said...: I prefer fat quarters. Much more useful in all kinds of things, even pillows that my kids are into making now.
At February 17, 2012 at 3:50 PM , CharL said...: I think I now prefer jelly rolls. Have quite a collection of fat quarters and charm packs but the jelly rolls are very versatile.

At February 17, 2012 at 4:11 PM , Bettyjo said...: I reallly enjoy your blog. Thank you for a chance to win something useful. I love fat quarters best.
At February 17, 2012 at 4:20 PM , MollyEliza said...: Hello
I am now a follower of your blog. Of the options you have given I would rather have Fat Quarters. I like to use them in a project and have a wee bit left over to use later. However recently I have been stocking up on long quarters or half metres since I find them more useful.
At February 17, 2012 at 4:25 PM , evelyn said...: It must be an old habit, but I still buy FAT quarters. They are more versatile.
At February 17, 2012 at 4:44 PM , ritainalaska said...: have more uses for fat quarters, but like layer cakes just about as much, and i like aurifil even better. thanx for the opportunity to win some.
At February 17, 2012 at 4:51 PM , Jane said...: All the pre-cuts are so tempting, but the best, I think, is fat quarters. Thanks for the giveaway!
At February 17, 2012 at 4:55 PM , ThreadCatcher said...: I am new to quilting and pre-cut fabrics. So far, I've only used charm packs. I would like to try fat quarters sometime when my budget allows. Thanks for the chance at your giveaway.
At February 17, 2012 at 5:02 PM , Judy C said...: I like to buy fat quarters, gives me enough to make something small or mix in to make something bigger.
At February 17, 2012 at 5:06 PM , pinsandneedles said...: I'm a follower and I prefer fat quarters! Thanks!
At February 17, 2012 at 5:12 PM , Anonymous said...: I am a follower. Thanks for the great giveaway. Size wise I prefer fat quarters, but if I want an entire collection I buy a layer cake.
At February 17, 2012 at 5:22 PM , VickiT said...: If the money is there, I prefer to purchase fat quarters. If I only have a little cash, then I'll order charm pack just so I have some of that certain fabric line.
At February 17, 2012 at 5:28 PM , Carol J said...: Although I prefer larger cuts, I would have to defer to the fat quarters. I would only use the other cuts for a specific project. Thank you for the giveaway!
At February 17, 2012 at 5:41 PM , Tamie said...: I'm a fat quarter girl. Matter of fact, I have very little of other sizes although charm packs and layer cakes do give you a piece of each one in the line. I'd love to try some Aurifil.
At February 17, 2012 at 5:42 PM , Twisted Sticks said...: Out of those three, I would have to say fat quarters. I do like the layer cakes from Moda also. Just started following your site. I just love aurifil!!
At February 17, 2012 at 5:45 PM , Mouster1 said...: Thanks for the great giveaway! I prefer fat quarters because you have a lot more fabric to work with. When I'm not able to find the colors I want, I'd definitely use a layer cake, charm pack or jelly roll. They all are great for a quick quilting project.
At February 17, 2012 at 5:51 PM , Anonymous said...: I usually buy larger cuts of fabric but when I buy smaller cuts, I will buy FQ's.I really love FQ's because there is more fabric to play with. I would really LOVE to win this thread. I have never had a chance to use it and I would like to give it a try. I have heard so much about it. Thanks for the chance to win it.

At February 17, 2012 at 6:27 PM , Jtumbleweed64 said...: I love all three. Can use any of them in so many ways.
At February 17, 2012 at 6:34 PM , Zoe said...: I'm a fat quarter girl- my local fabric shop has 'fat quarter friday' where it's buy one, get one free, so I try to go on fridays :)
At February 17, 2012 at 7:19 PM , stichnRN said...: of those 3 i would take the fat quarter, because of the versatility. i like the jelly rolls too. i have never bought a layer cake yet.
most of the time i get half yards for blocks. i love scrappy and controlled scrappy quilts.
At February 17, 2012 at 7:23 PM , Darlene B said...: I'm a follower! I use fat quarters the most - I can do so much with them....
At February 17, 2012 at 7:40 PM , Anonymous said...: If I must choose (sigh-I really like them all)...fat quarters are the best option because of their versatility. Just about anything that can be done with a layer cake or a jelly roll can be done with a fat quarter. Also some collections have prints I know I won't use...I can purchase just what I like with FQ's :)
At February 17, 2012 at 7:43 PM , ylrbmk said...: I have LOTS of fat quarters, but I'm starting to buy other precuts. Not long ago, I bought some batik strips. I can't wait to sew them together. Knowing that some of the cutting has been done is motivating.
At February 17, 2012 at 7:45 PM , quiltma said...: The Jelly Rolls are my first pick, they the layer cakes. I've found that I only buy fats when I have a project in mind.
At February 17, 2012 at 7:46 PM , MaryBeth said...: Of the choices listed, I buy more fat quarters, but what I really buy is yardage.
At February 17, 2012 at 7:50 PM , Turnedgypsy said...: Ester Forrest posted about this giveway in Quilts of Many Angels..they could really use this thread for their charity quilts.

Thank you for giving this away...

At February 17, 2012 at 8:03 PM , Mhairi said...: Although I love fat quarters I love the 10" squares as they are a cheaper way to buy a complete set of fabrics. BUT... I prefer fat quarters as they are more versatile but I can't afford much fabric so I like precuts.
At February 17, 2012 at 8:16 PM , LJ said...: I am a follower. I don't really have a favorite - have used them all. Generally, it depends on the project. I made a box where you covered cotton rope in fabric and the jelly roll was perfect and much faster.
At February 17, 2012 at 8:22 PM , janequiltsslowly said...: Like many of the people responding here: I love fat quarters, but usually, if I'm buying and don't have a purpose in mind, I will buy more: at least a half or even full yard. I bought a charm pack once and used it for a paper-pieced project with a lot of variation. I've never bought a jelly roll, but I am constantly cutting 2 1/2" strips. I am a pre-washer and presser of all fabric, so that is probably why I don't use a lot of pre-cuts.
At February 17, 2012 at 8:26 PM , Kasia said...: Am a follower...I think that fat quarters and 10in squares are my favorites...more versatile. Love aurafil too...low lint! Thanks for the chance to win!
At February 17, 2012 at 9:33 PM , drafter29 said...: I get whatever I see that I like. I have enough patterns that finding a project for them shouldn't be a problem. If I have to pick one, I'd go with FQs.
At February 17, 2012 at 9:59 PM , Anita said...: I love getting fat quarters, but jelly rolls are a close 2nd. I'm already a follower :) Thanks for the chance to win!
At February 17, 2012 at 10:09 PM , Jae said...: While I enjoy all types of precuts from time to time, fat quarters are the most versatile. I usually treat myself to at least one when I go o the quilt shop!

At February 18, 2012 at 12:09 AM , Bron @ Stop That Owl said...: At the moment I'm working with a couple of layer cakes. I like the variety of prints in these packs.
At February 18, 2012 at 12:51 AM , Binks said...: I'm more of a fat quarter kind of gal, but I'm new to quilting and haven't tried out all the pre-cuts. I have to stop myself from buying charm packs though. I find them very enticing.
At February 18, 2012 at 1:17 AM , Leah said...: I think I`d prefer FQs. I`ve had a few Charm packs (5inch) and they are OK... I have a 10 inch that I haven`t used much of yet, but find it limiting....
At February 18, 2012 at 1:33 AM , Judy said...: I love to work with fat quarters. They are so versatile. I've made aprons, purses, totes, children's clothes and a few quilts with them. I love to mix and match. Mmmm... fabric.... oh yeah, and I follow your blog!
