Review and Unboxing
Getting subscription boxes is so much fun. I absolutely love getting things in the mail that are a surprise… and not a bill.
But, it is really hard to decide which boxes will be something you can use and has value… and which will be a dud.
I saw a million people unboxing that FabFitFun box and I had to jump in and give it a try (I know, its not a quilt box), and for me, that was a huge dud. Was it a great value, absolutely, but the problem was that I NEVER used anything that was sent to me. So, while the box had value… it just didn’t have value for me.
Currently I have a monthly subscription with two different companies for quilters. I already reviewed Annie’s Creative Quilters Fabric Club HERE.
So now, we will take a look at the PreCuts Quilt Shop. Take a look at their two subscription boxes HERE.
I get the classic box and my third box just arrived!
Let’s take a look.
Another Jelly roll! 
Look at those colors. 
This subscription kit costs about twice as much as my Annie’s subscription, but I have to say, they have always hit the mark. I use everything I get sent. I have NEVER been unhappy with my boxes. Granted, this is only the third box.
If you are new to quilting I do think this would be a fun way to build your quilting tool stash since this box always sends different things like that. This time I got a really fun pin dish. It is magnetic and will hopefully keep all my pins off the floor!
Here is everything I got in this box!
The box always comes with an overview of everything you got… along with pricing so you can see the value.
Jelly Roll Fabrics! SO PRETTY! 
Value is $91.55 for this box.
This box was so amazing! I am really excited to work with this fabric!
Let’s also take a look at my two previous boxes. I don’t have photos of everything I got. But, you will at least get an idea!
My second box came with a layer cake that I am actually using to make a quilt tutorial for this blog!
It was the absolute cutest bee theme!
Bee Joyful Layer Cake. 
Such beautiful fabric. 
Paper Piecing Patterns.
(That’s a tongue twister)
Box Value $89.04.
Again, I absolutely loved this box!
Side story… My grandfather was a bee keeper so it gave this box a little extra special meaning to me. When I finish this quilt I am sending it to my mother. She will love it!
The very first box I received was so much fun! I knew I made the right decision giving this box a try when I opened it! I was honestly worried about the cost of the box and the value just not being there. But, I have been pleasantly surprised each time!
Quilt as You Go tote bag!
My very first box with PreCutsQuiltShop came with a quilt as you go tote bag kit! It came with a Jelly roll and everything I needed to complete the bag! I know there was some other stuff in this shipment, but I don’t remember for sure what it was.
This bag and the fabric are both gorgeous! I am so obsessed with them! And look! I still have a ton of fabric left for other projects!
I really think the value is there with this box.
It may not be for you if you aren’t looking to add extra quilt goodies, besides fabric, to your quilt room/area storage. If that is already bursting at the seams then this box may not be for you!
For now, I am officially obsessed with this box!
I’ll show you what comes next month!
Bye for now.

I too belong to Annie’s Fabric Club and this year I joined Fat Quarter Shop — so far this year I haven’t been thrilled with Annie’s but love FQS! I’ll take a look at the one you mentioned in this post!

I have loved all of my Annie’s shipments… however, I do not think their last few will appeal to a wide audience. And since it is such a small amount of fabric I kind of wish they would build on each other so you can combine and make a large quilt. I also think it costs a bit much for the small amount of fabric you get.
I have been eyeing the Fat Quarter shops subscriptions! I may jump in!

I agree I wish the shipments would build on each other! I joined Annie’s because they offer Timeless Treasures & Wilmington Prints — most other offer Moda products. I still STRUGGLE with color! I was a garment sewer for many years so I see prints before color, which is why I tend to only buy pre-cut bundles. Do you do most of your own quilting?

I do my own quilting, but only because I typically just follow the seams to quilt. I did purchase a stitch regulator to finally start free motion quilting. I enjoy it so far, but definitely a learning curve.

Same here…I haven’t purchased a regulator– I tested one at the quilt shop, I’m just not a fan of FMQ — it doesn’t relax me the way walking foot quilting does. I love reading your blog posts — you’ve made me want to start posting again 🙂

I know exactly what you mean! I do feel that free motion quilting isn’t relaxing at all. It makes me anxious! I hope you do post more! I went and read through a few of yours!
