Review

Are you still a bit confused on precuts? C&T Publishing has put together a nice 32 page booklet called “Quilter's Precut Companion”. This all-in-one guide to precuts is a spiral-bound, easy to take with you reference guide that covers everything you need to know about precuts. This little gem is filled with charts and information on everything precut...did you know there are at least 7 different names for 10”x10” squares? I liked the chart called Precuts and Quilt Size, if no other fabric is used, this chart gives you an idea of how many packs or strips of the most common precuts you will need to make the various size quilts. You will also find instructions for making Easy Half-Square Triangles and blocks using the half-square triangle units. In fact there are 25 traditional quilt blocks you can make from precut squares, strips, and triangles. (The Appliqué Society Newsletter, Jan/Feb 2016)

Jenny Doan, from the Missouri Star Quilt Company, has been designing with precut fabric for years and has quite a following on her YouTube channel.
