Honey Buns are as sweet and delicious as they sound! These rolls typically contain 40 to 42 strips cut to 1.5″ x 42″. These buzzworthy buns come in handy for so many patterns and eliminate all that time you would spend cutting strips.
This week, we’ve gathered a list of our favorite Honey Bun-friendly patterns to help you decide how to sew up your these precuts. Let’s sew with your stash or pick out a new collection and get started. All of these patterns are downloadable PDF patterns so you can print them at home and get started right away! Visit our Pre-Cut Quilt Fabric Guide for more information on Honey Buns and other specialty cuts.
