Precuts, we all have some.
Have you ever bought a precut of fabric? The charm squares, a jelly roll or a fat quarter bundle.
They have all those pretty fabrics and you get home, with no project in mind. Then you wonder what to make with it? Now what? It sits in the cupboard, or on a shelf with no plan in sight.
A few years go by and you have an aha moment, it then gets used. Prices have increased over the years, so how far can you stretch a fat quarter bundle? A challenge for sure, some you can use all the fabric with no waste if you make a trip around the world. What if you want to use it for applique? A conundrum for sure, unless you want to make that project bag, a baby quilt and maybe something extra?
Adding some background fabrics can stretch one fat quarter bundle to make quite a few projects, be it to keep or to gift. Lets begin, first is a project bag, then a birthday quilt, a baby quilt and a chandelier quilt. Not bad and how much is still leftover?
Yes they can seem expensive, it is all about how creative you decide to be and to utilize the fabrics to create more than just one item.

buying pre-cuts is one way to increase your fabric selection for scrappy quilts. They are about all I buy anymore
