Precut Primer Quilt Pattern Book by Me & My Sister Designs for It’s Sew Emma

Description

Precut Primer is a crash course in sewing with precuts, the bundled fabric formats that take the cutting out of starting a quilt. Barbara Groves and Mary Jacobson of Me & My Sister Designs built the book around the six most popular precuts, from the tiny mini charm pack up to the fat quarter. The quilts lean bright and scrappy, each built from a single precut bundle.

What the Book Includes

This is the printed pattern book, not a kit or a finished quilt. Inside are twelve complete quilt patterns with cutting and assembly instructions and full-color photos and diagrams. Fabric, batting, backing, and binding are not included.

The Quilts

Precut Primer includes twelve quilts, two for each of the six precut formats it covers:

• Mini Charm Packs (2.5in squares)
• Charm Packs (5in squares)
• Jelly Rolls (2.5in strips)
• Layer Cakes (10in squares)
• Fat Eighths
• Fat Quarters

Finished sizes vary by project and are listed in the book.

What You’ll Need

These quilts are built from straightforward rotary-cut, machine-pieced patchwork with straight seams. Each project starts from a precut, so pulling the bundle a quilt calls for does most of the cutting; you add only basic fabric for backgrounds, borders, backing, and binding. A rotary cutter, mat, and ruler round out the tools. The book lists exact fabric requirements for every quilt, so amounts come from the pattern rather than guesswork.

Perfect For

• New quilters who want a low-cutting entry into patchwork
• Precut collectors who want patterns built around the bundles they already buy
• Quick gifts and baby or child quilts
• Quilters who want a dozen quick projects gathered in one book

Why You’ll Love This Book

Precuts are the fastest way into a quilt because someone else already did the cutting, and Precut Primer leans into that. Organized by precut, it doubles as a reference: when a bundle catches your eye, there is already a quilt waiting for it. The piecing stays simple, so it is a forgiving place to get comfortable with a format you have not sewn before.

Because each quilt mixes a whole bundle of prints, the fabric does most of the talking. The same pattern reads sweet in a soft baby line or punchy in saturated brights, so a format you make once can look completely different the next time.
