Animal Precut Fabric – Charm Packs, Layer Cakes & Fat Quarter Bundles

Why Buy Animal Prints as Precuts?

An animal collection usually mixes one or two "picture" prints – the foxes, the bees, the chickens – with smaller coordinating prints. A precut gives you all of them together, cut and ready, so you can build a whole quilt around a favorite critter without buying a dozen yardage cuts.

Which Animal Precut Should I Choose?

  • 10" squares (layer cakes) – our most popular size for animal prints, big enough to show a whole bee, bird or dragonfly.
  • Fat quarter bundles – the best option for fussy cutting a single animal for a block center or pillow.
  • 5" squares (charm packs) – I-spy quilts, table runners and small projects.
  • 2.5" strips (jelly rolls) – strip quilts, borders and binding.

Shop every size across all collections: 2.5" strips, 5" squares, 10" squares and fat quarter bundles.

Animal Themes You'll Find Here

Bees and honeycomb, dragonflies and monarch butterflies, roosters and prairie chicks, owls, cats and woodland creatures all show up here, along with whimsical fairy-dust prints from Tula Pink. Some collections are digitally printed or pearlized for extra detail and shimmer. Animal prints are a natural fit for baby and kids' quilts, so also check our kids and baby precuts.

Why Do the Names Change?

Manufacturers name their precuts differently. "Layer cake" and "charm pack" started with Moda, but you'll also see Double Scoops (Andover 2.5" strips), Tiles (Northcott 10" squares) and Ten Squares (Robert Kaufman). The size is always on the label.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are animal precuts?+

Precuts are bundles of fabric cut to a standard size – 2.5" strips, 5" squares, 10" squares or fat quarters – with pieces from every print in a collection. Animal precuts come from collections built around animal, bird and insect prints.

Which precut is best for an I-spy quilt?+

Charm packs are the classic choice, since every 5" square shows a different print to spot. For larger animals, cut 10" squares or fat quarters down so each critter is centered.

Can I fussy cut animals from a precut?+

Yes, but fat quarters give you the most room. A 5" square may cut through the middle of a large motif, so check the print scale before you buy.

How many layer cakes do I need for a lap quilt?+

Many lap-size patterns use one or two layer cakes, plus background fabric. Always go by your pattern's supply list.

What pairs well with animal print precuts?+

A solid or tone-on-tone background lets busy animal prints stand out. Pull the solid color from the print itself, like a honey yellow for bees or a sky blue for birds.
