Precut Fabric Bundles
A Quilter's Playground!


Jellyroll Fabric Bundle
Jelly Roll
Precut fabric bundles are the latest rage for quilters around the world. It's funny though. The names for these bundles sound more like bakery goods than precut fabrics.

For example, there's Jelly Rolls, Layer Cakes and Honey Buns, to name a few.

These little "bundles of joy" offer beauty, convenience, fabric coordination and ease. The best part, though, is that they save you the hassle of cutting your own fabric.

To top it off, you can buy books and patterns that are designed for precut fabric bundles. I don't know how much easier it could be! If you want to spend more time sewing than cutting, these precut fabric bundlesare your ticket to sewing heaven!

Fat Quarters

Fat Quarters are 18" x 22" cuts of fabric. Manufacturers want you to sample all the prints in their fabric collections. So, they cut one fat quarter from each print in the line.

Next, they "bundle" them together and bind them with an attractive ribbon or bow. Now, you can have the entire fabric collection in your hands without spending a fortune!

Charm Pack

A Charm Pack consists of (40) 5" x 5" fabric squares. Each square represents one print in a fabric collection. Quilters often use charm squares to make scrap quilts. These little "charmers" are affordable and easy to use.
