Find the perfect precut quilt patterns here at Missouri Star! Whether you’re looking for simple quilt patterns for beginners or quilt patterns for precuts to make something quick, we’ve got a huge variety of precut patterns to choose from! Use the filters to shop precut quilt patterns by the type of precut you want to use, such as:


➤ Charm Pack patterns for 5-inch squares of coordinating fabric that are great for making scrappy quilts, patchwork, or small projects.


➤ Layer Cake patterns for 10-inch squares of fabric that offer a larger surface area compared to charm packs and can be used for a variety of quilt blocks or patterns.


➤ Jelly Rolls patterns for rolls of fabric strips that are usually 2.5 inches in width and are typically 42-44 inches in length. They are often used for strip quilting techniques and can create beautiful designs with minimal cutting.

Precut patterns provide convenience and efficiency to quilters by eliminating the need for extensive cutting and allowing them to focus more on the creative aspects of quilting. You can choose a precut pattern based on the fabric precuts you’d like to use, or the other way around!


Choosing a quilting precut pattern can be a fun and creative process, but it can also sometimes be overwhelming due to the wide range of inspiring precut patterns available to today’s quilters!


Here are some steps to help you select the right precut pattern for your next quilting project:


First, determine what type of quilt you want to make. Consider factors such as the quilt size, design complexity, intended use (e.g., bed quilt, wall hanging, baby quilt), and your skill level. If you haven’t already purchased precut patterns or fabrics, you can approach your precut pattern selection in two ways:


Option 1: Think about the colors, prints, and fabric collections you're drawn to. Some of them may have patterns that were designed especially for those collections or can be easily substituted into an existing quilt pattern that uses similar precut and fabric specifications. Once you have chosen your fabrics, that will make it easier to narrow down your quilt pattern options by looking at those that are designed specifically for the specific type of precut fabric you've chosen.


Option 2: Shop quilting patterns for precuts by designer, style, or theme using the filters on this page! Or, if you already have a particular quilt block or design in mind, you can look for any precut patterns available that use that design. Some precut patterns come with pre-cut papers or templates for specific quilt blocks, simplifying the piecing process.


This option is also great if you have a specific precut you enjoy working with. With that in mind, you can narrow down your choices by browsing quilt patterns using jelly rolls, charm pack quilts, quilt patterns using layer cakes, and other precut friendly quilt patterns! Once you have selected your precut fabric quilt pattern, you can purchase all of the fabric you need to complete it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a precut quilt pattern?

It's a pattern written around a standard precut size – 2.5" strips, 5" squares, 10" squares or fat quarters – so most of the cutting is done before you start. The supply list tells you which precut to buy and how many, plus any background, border, binding and backing yardage.

Are precut patterns good for beginners?

Yes, many are. Beginner-friendly patterns like simple strip and square layouts are some of our best sellers, and quilters often tell us they finished their first quilt with one. Check the skill level on the pattern, and start with a design that has no points to match.

How many precuts do I need?

It depends on the pattern and the size you're making. A single jelly roll or layer cake makes many lap-size tops, while charm pack quilts often call for two or more packs. Always go by the pattern's supply list, and buy a little extra if you want to make it bigger.

Is there a video tutorial for the pattern?

Many Missouri Star patterns have a free video tutorial with Jenny Doan or the Missouri Star team. Reviewers often say watching the video before they start piecing made the printed steps easier to follow, especially for blocks that are new to them.

Should I buy the printed pattern or the digital download?

Choose the one that suits you. Where a digital download is offered, you can download the PDF shortly after checkout and start sewing without waiting for the mail. The printed pattern ships with your order and is easy to keep in your sewing room.
