hi ladies,
i have taken all of my scraps of fabric and based on their size, i cut the largest square from each scrap leaving me with hundreds of 2", 3" & 4" squares. they are all from quilt shop fabrics.
i'm thinking of selling but my question is, what is the going rate for how many squares of each size.
can anyone help?
i have attached pics of them for better understanding.

I love the way you have them displayed. You would need to consider whether they are prewashed and/or starched, if there are pets/smokers in your home, the quality of the fabric (higher end quality or lower end?)

Did you separate the fabric by types (pastels, brights, themes, etc.)

How precise are your cuts?

Look on ebay, from what I see about $12 for 100 was commo. I bought some 4" for $2+shipping, got400 for $20 something. But have not seen them that cheep since. Personally, I wouldnt think it would be worth the tiime to cut them for that little bit. Hopeyou do well with this, cutting those little squares is not my idea of fun, thats why I bought them when theywereso cheep.

This may sound funny, but if you "package" them to sell them in the pretty glass containers, it may be a bigger draw for purchase (may add to cost of shipping, though)

I just sold approx. 500 (too many to count) 3 1/2 inch squares for $17 on this board. But, mine had many duplicates of each fabric. Ebay would probably give you a better idea.

Love your storage unit and the containers you have the fabric stored in.

Well, they are the same as "charm squares" prepackaged. So, maybe $4 for 40-60.
