Whether you are new to quilting and want to buy some fabric for a quilt without breaking the bank, or you are a seasoned quilter with more pre-cuts in your stash than you know what to do with and need some inspiration, this is a quintessential guide to using pre-cuts.
This book contains projects made with many of the common pre-cuts on the market. I have also used a variety of techniques to complete the 12 quilts and 13 small projects.
I have created a table of the pre-cuts used in this book so that you can see at a glance which pre-cuts each project uses. Have you seen some charm packs that you adore? Have you seen some jelly rolls on sale at a price you can’t refuse? Have you got three jelly rolls and a charm pack in your stash and you don’t know what the heck to do with them? Simply look at the table below to get a quick view of which projects you can use them for without having to read the fabric requirements for each and every project. The table also specifies where you need background fabric or supplementary pre-cuts or yardage.
The pre-cut requirements for the projects are shown with flower symbols; I have also indicated with small stars which other pre-cuts could be used for the same project. Using the guide to the yield of each piece in Cutting your own pre-cuts, it is simple enough to convert one pre-cut to another.
Once you have chosen your project, the requirements list on each pattern page will detail any additional requirements for binding, backing or linings.
