No, I haven’t, but probably would do more needlework if I did.
I have never used a jelly roll., but would love to learn – that cover art is gorgeous!
I’ve had my eye on this book! My machine is itching for a project.
I do not use precut material. Great give away great publishing company.
I have used fat quarters to make aprons, baby bibs, & girl’s skirts.
I have never used pre-cut fabric before but as a professional cook and seamstress I feel this book is write up my alley!! Ha!
I am a sucker for charm packs. I love buying them to preview entire fabric lines, and then using the charms in many different projects. Fat quarters are also always in my stash. I have never bought jellyrolls, chocolate bars, or any other confection-named precuts, but I know I will.
This book looks yummy, thanks for sharing. I have not used precut pieces but am always picking up fat quarters!
I love jelly rolls! Use them all the time, perfect for an easy 9 patch!
No pre-cut fabrics for me……handmade all the way.
I’ve been wanting this book since Moda started talking about it! I love pre-cuts but because of budgeting here I don’t get to use them often. They make life SO easy when I do! I think charm squares are my favorite because you get a little sampling of all the line without spending a fortune.
I’ve used a handful of FQs, but never anything else. I’d love to try some jelly rolls or layer cakes, though!
I love the Jelly Rolls and Layer cakes, I’ve made a stocking and a table runner using them. I’d like to do more and I know this book would help!
Hello, I just recently started sewing. So far I have not used pre cut pieces. Thanks for a great giveaway and a chance!
I love fat quarters….still haven’t used jelly rolls yet.. but am looking into it
I love charm packs. They are so cute!
I have some, but I’ve never used them.
I have used fat quarters to make bags!
I’m working on my first quilt(really more of a wall hanging) and I used a Jelly Roll and matching Fat Quarters. I think they make it so much easier.
I love precut fabrics. They are always coordinated so nicely. They save lots of time & are easy to create with! Made all 3 of my daughters mini quilts & getting ready to make another.
I buy fat quarters frequently. They are great for small projects! I like getting them from quitting stores because the fabrics seem to have a finer quality
I have never used precut fabric, but I would love to start!
I love using precuts.. it’s nice to get a taste of all of the different fabrics in a line!
I never have. I’m new to sewing!
Hi, Yes I’ve used precuts before. Jelly rolls, Bali Pops and Charm Squares. I love them all!
Yes, occasionally I use a fat quarter for a project, but lately jelly rolls have been calling out to me. So far I’ve resisted buying because I didn’t have a special project in mind. Of course if I had this book….
I love precuts! They are the best!
Never… but I’m game!
I do use precuts. This book is on my wishlist, so thanks for the giveaway!
I have used pre-cut fabrics in some projects before! Thanks!
I have used jelly rolls & charm packs ; saves a LOT of time !!!! Thanks for the chance to win ; I hear this book is good !!!
I’VE USED SOME PRECUT SCRAPS FROM A CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT KIT I BOUGHT, AND THEY TURNED OUT REALLY CUTE!
I have yet to do so, but I do have some pre-cut fabrics sitting around waiting for me to play! Thanks for the chance to win
Haven’t used precuts. Should buy some to save time and have all the colors blend together. Going to have to rethink this one.
Yes, I love precuts – I’m “straight cut challenged”, so to have the long straight strips or even squares ready is a god sent.
I already used a jelly roll and I’m currently working on a dresden plate made from charm pack
Definitely yummy! What an inspiring book this must be! And I have not used precut pieces since I’m fairly new to sewing. Thanks for the giveaway!
I just bought my first jelly roll last week. New to quilting (just finished my second quilt), so this book will help me use my jelly roll! Can’t wait to start using my jelly roll!
Truth be told, I buy way more than I use…they are just so pretty! I have used several charm packs and part of a jelly roll. I just hate to take them apart and cut in!
I love pre-cut fabrics. I don’t always have time to cut fabric, but I always make time to sew!
i always want to buy jellyrolls in the store but don’t know how to use them. This book would be awesome!!!
I’d love to try the projects in this book. I need a quick pick-me-up. thanks for a great giveaway.
No, I have never used pre-cut fabric in any of my crafts, but it sounds interesting.
I’ve got a jelly roll Halloween quilt in my UFO stash!
I haven’t yet but I have been collecting “recipes”.
I almost only use precuts – I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and it saves me that extra cutting step.
I have never used pre-cuts but would love to learn how to quilt. I watch from the sidelines and drool over the materpieces that are created! AJ

Not yet, but I’m always tempted! They look so beautiful in the store, but I’m not sure what to make with them. I do collect fat quarters when they go on sale, though.
I am making a quilt right now from a pre-cut sampler pack! It’s a great idea to use already cut fabric to make things…saves on cutting which can be so tedious when you have A LOT to cut.
I love precuts – FQ, charm packs and jelly rolls – they’re so much fun. I love the variety of colours and patterns that it offers. Now, I just have to get busy and use some of them instead of just adding to my stash. I’d love to pour through this book.
No I haven’t, but thinking I might like to try them.
Fat quarters are the spice of my life.Thanks to them I have so much variety is my stash! And just as important–they are large enough to prewash and iron while keeping my sanity!
I always fall for precuts, it keeps me from buying 3 yards of each fabric in the line. But I’m always stumped as to what to make. This book could be the answer for all those precuts in my stash.
I love to work with precuts. It’s a great way to get all the designs in a collection. This book looks fabulous. I love Moda Bake Shop.
I’ve used precuts. I think they’re helpful to new quilters making basic projects. Thanks.
I haven’t used any pre-cut packs….yet….they look like alot of fun tho — all those yummy bits ready and waiting to be sewn
I have used charm packs and jelly rolls. The are very fun to use. I would love to win.

So far I have used charm packs and a couple of jelly rolls – they really are amazing to use and sure speed up the process. Thanks for the chance – this book look awesome!
This may be hard to believe but I have never used precuts and would love to try.
I’ve never used precut fabric collections for a project, but I would LOVE to! I’m always daunted by selecting fabrics, and worry they won’t look cute together, so working from a precut collection would be awesome!
I am just making my first quilt. I would love to learn how to use pre-cut fabric for projects.
I love pre-cuts and think that they’re one of the best things ever! I’ve made a few quilts with them!
I’ve only used fat quarters so far, but I’ve seen some beautiful packs of precuts at quilting stores, so it’s time to branch out!
I have a slight fat quarter addiction, but have used jelly rolls in the past.
I’ve recently gotten back into quilting, and many of these precut collection sizes are new to me. I’d love to give them a try and this book looks like a beautiful way to start!
Currently, my favorite pre-cuts are layer cakes!!! LOVE THEM
I love Moda precuts! I actually made the Chaarming Stars quilt off their website which was made with charm packs.
I am still very new to sewing, but I have found a few projects I would like to try with jelly rolls.
Yes! precuts are perfect for crafts.
The best thing is that the colors match together and everything looks wonderful — easy to use, nice color choices, perfect sizes.
last time I used was with Kanzashi flower makers:
Stitches of Life

I am addicted to fat quarters – I use them for purses, trims ,pillows, table linens, belts, hair accessories, and lots more! I’ve not used a jelly roll before, but I have a project laying on my desk right now that requires one and I can’t wait to get to it!
No, I don’t use precuts. Most of them are too small for the items I create right now.
yes if i want to make something fast love to win thanks for the chance
I haven’t had the chance to use pre-cuts yet, that being said, I do plan to use them for a quilt for my husband and I’d bed, just haven’t gotten to it just yet =) Thank you for the chance to win this book!
It looks luscious, those colors, my mouth is watering. I just hope that machine chooses me.

I love precuts but Layer Cakes are my favourite. I would love to win a copy of this book, thanks for the giveaway.
Using pre-cut fabrics for a craft project is new to me, however I would definitely be open to saving some time in the preparation and getting down to business asap. In fact, I have been considering purchasing pre-made yo-yo’s for a quilt project I have in mind as I recently stumbled upon a nifty little shop on etsy that sells them.
i never have but i always look at the jelly rolls in the store and have the urge to buy one
I haven’t used any pre-cuts for projects yet, but am looking forward to it. Thanks for the chance to win this nice book.
I have some precuts on my project shelf but have not used them yet – hoping to get busy with them very very soon! Thanks for the opportunity to win this book!
I have been looking at this and put it on my wishlist just this past friday! I have used a jelly roll pre cut once and recently bought a second one. With time, etc. they seem like a good idea, as well as just having the ease to pre cut our already collected fat quarters!
I have some precuts but haven’t used them yet… need to finish up my current projects. Thanks for the nice giveaway – would love to win the book.
i aahave neer used one but I am ery interested
I had every intention of using precut fabrics, I purchased a stack of them…. but they look so pretty bundled up that I have felt tempted to open it up & sew them!
I love precuts, my favorites are jelly rolls and charm squares by Moda. I would love to win this book.
I haven’t yet but just might!!
I have bought a patchwork pillow project that I made. It came with pre-cut pieces of fabric and made a beautiful pillow! I have another one that I will soon make as well!
I have not, but I soon will as I am planning to buy a patchwork project which comes with pre-cut pieces. It will be so much easier. Oh…actually I have, in this cath kidston book, it came with pr-cut fabrics to make a bag if that counts!
thanks for a great competition! I would absolutely love to win, this book looks amazing!!!
I have never used anything other than fat squares but I’ve really wanting to make a quilt with charm squares and jelly rolls.
I’ve used fat quarters to make dresses for my girls. This book looks like a lot of fun!
I have not made my first quilt as I just took my first sewing class last weekend. But I already have several fat quarter cuts as well as 2 jelly rolls just waiting for me to begin.
I have not but would like to. The smaller pieces are a bit easier to figure out what the whole project will look like before it comes together.
I’m just getting my hands back into sewing. I haven’t used anything for qilting, but wouldn’t that be neat to learn?
I never use pre-cuts in my projects: takes away from them being special or unique
I haven’t really used pre-cut fabric before, but I’ve been wanting to give it a go. It looks like this book would help me out quite a bit.
I have used jelly rolls and layer cakes a few times and I LOVE them. They are color coordinated and you have so many choices when using them.
I have used fat quarters, but would love to branch out to jelly rolls, charm packs, etc.
Thanks for the great giveaway!
I would love to have pre-cut fabric for sewing clothes! I am still not very good at sizing. But no, I’ve never had pre-cut pieces!
I have purchased fat quarters, but not the smaller precuts. I always look at the jelly rolls and layer cakes, but hesitate to buy them without having a project in mind. This book would help with that and be a wonderful addition to my bookshelf. Thanks for the giveaway!
I’ve never used precuts before, but they sound like they would make things simpler.
I have never used jelly rolls, but I would love to try a project with them!
Yes! I love using precuts! I’m using jelly rolls right now!
no i have never used precuts before. i always see them and am tempted to buy but i just buy the regular fabric and cut them out myself!
I have used precut fabric to make baby quilts and will continute to do so! Love how easy it is to use and fast!
I have used remmants and bought fat quarters and such. I haven’t used pre-cut fabrics in a project yet but I would like to.
I have always eyed those beautiful stacks of fabric at the store…but I have never bought one cause I wasn’t sure what to do with them. I woul dlove this book to give me some ideas!
I have not… I always figured they are more expensive. Intrigued by this book!
I do some crazy quilting and a tiny bit of patchwork. I haven’t used the precuts yet but I would like to see if they would work in my projects. Thans for the opportunity to win this book with the projects to learn with.
i’ve used precuts for centerpieces on quilts and pillowcases! I’d love to give this book to a friend who just started sewing!
I haven’t used pre-cut materials but im sure it would be a bit quicker:)
I haven’t used pre-cut fabric, but this book would be inspiration to do so!
Thanks for the nice giveaway!
I’ve used charm squares and fat quarters. Thanks!
Absolutely when I can! I was so excited when I found an old pre-cut fabric quilt kit for Grandmothers Garden @ a thrift store!
I use precut fabric at times, though not that often. I generally cut my own since it’s cheaper.
I love using charm packs. I have a favorite pattern I like to use with them.
It may sound like cheating, but if I find pre-cut fabric in patterns that I like, I won’t hesitate to use them in my projects.
I havent but I do use my scarps and make cloth baby blocks
I couldnt do that with precut fabric too!
charm packs are my fave, layer cakes come in second, and jelly rolls follow nicely in third place. I LOVE pre-cuts! The patterns out there for pre-cuts are great for quick gifts and it gives you a chance to have a little piece of every fabric in the line to play with!! I would SO love to win this book!!!!! Thanks for the chance!
I have used pre-cuts a couple of times–it’s a really easy and inexpensive way to get all the fabrics of a particular line.
I have never used pre-cut fabrics but I am seriously thinking this is no coincidence. Came across some pre-cut fabrics online today! What a great idea!!!! For any project, great give away hope its me :O)
I have never used precut fabric in my projects. If there was an intteresting one , I would give it a try
I recently made a lawn chairs quilt by Moda using a jelly roll. Thanks for the giveaway!
I have never used pre-cut fabrics but that doesn’t mean I am not willing to try it! I say, you learn something new every day and if you don’t well, I guess you aren’t trying hard enough! Thanks for the opportunity! :7D

I have used jelly rolls/charm squares/layer cakes. I love them all!!!! I would love this book.
I’ve just ventured into fat quarters – to me they *are* precut pieces. But with this book I would take the next step into specialty precut pieces.
I’ve never used precuts before, but I’ve been eying them lately. Looks like a wonderful book!
I have totally FREAKED. MYSELF. OUT. about precuts, but I have a primordial yearning to learn how to do all this stuff–in fact, anything to do with quilting and mixing and/or matching patterns and colors. It makes me feel all warm and squooshy inside when I look at it!
XXOO
never have before, but have my eye on some super cute stuff!
One time I used precuts (5″ squares) but found it too inhibiting – although it did make me use them up quickly so I wouldn’t have to “deal” with them anymore.
I’ve used charm packs before and found them pretty handy…and fat quarters are great!
I haven’t yet, but want to. I know it would make a lot of projects easier if I used them.
I have used precuts before, but no jelly rolls yet. The book could be a real nice reason to start I guess
I have used precuts and jelly rolls and love them all. A huge time saver and more accurate fitting blogs or pieces if you will. Thanks for the op to win this cool book.
I’ve been wanting a book on some easy pre-cut projects. Since my mother passed away in January, I haven’t had the heart to go back to sewing (she was a master). It would be nice to have an excuse to pull the old sewing machine out.
I have seen this book at my local Joann’s, but at the time didn’t have the money to buy it, as I spent it all on fat quarters! I have never used pre-cuts in quilting, but have used pre-cut squares to make fabric flowers. Thanks!
I’m totally new to quilting. I have never used pre-cut fabric. I learned sewing in school but have not done much in the past years. Now I’m getting slowly back into sewing and I would love to have that book to teach me more. Thank you for a great contest!
I’m brand new to quilting but it’s something my sister-in-law and I are starting at the same time. She’s made a few quilts, and I’m just starting in on my first. She loves precuts and I’d love to purchase some online eventually! I’m excited to start and this book would be a great help in that start!
I’ve only used fat quarters. But I’d love to try more, I’m new to the quilting scene and mostly sewing small projects and children’s clothes.
I have used charms, layer cakes, turnovers and jelly rolls… all fun!
Yes, I use jelly rolls, charm packs and layer cakes they are all good.
i use precuts every once in a while–baby quilts, tote bag, table runner, larger bed quilts. It gives me a chance to try a set of coordinated fabrics without buying yardage. It’s also great for trips. I can take a small bag of sewing supplies and a charm pack and work on a project by hand.
I haven’t used pre-cuts, but would love to. It’s an easy way to do a project quicker. This book looks great. Thanks for the chance!
I need to win this giveaway. I need an excuse to buy a couple jellyrolls I have my eye on.
Oh, this looks like so much fun!!
My daughter and I like to use fabric scraps to embellish book purses we make. I frequently buy fat quarters when the design and color make a perfect match for our project.
I use fat quaters but always stare longingly (is that a real word?) at jellyrolls. Even if I don’t win this book here,it will become part of my book family. Super excited to try it out.
I just finished a jelly roll quilt call strip twist for a cancer victim. I would LOVE to own this book! I would use it to design another cancer quilt.
Yes I do…depending on what I’m making
I have not used them but have thought so many times how fun it would be to try them and see how creative I could get with them.
