    Default Good selection and resonable priced flannel fat quarters up to 1 yard?

    I bought 9 fat quarters to start getting ready to make a crib to toddler bed puffed square quilt for my newest grand-baby. Got the last color co-ordinated pack. Been searching online for somthing I can add to what I have and coming up with zero. Anyone have a link or 2 they would be willing to share?

    Have you checked out 4my3boys.com? They have very reasonably priced FQs and also always have a selection of FQs for a$1 apiece. If you order more than one FQ of the same fabric they will cut it as yardage. Selection varies and sometimes it's not so hot, but the prices can't be beat! Good service too.

    Seems to be plenty on eBay. I'm in Australia and have bought plenty of flannel from the states and have always been happy with the quality and the price. Here in Australia flannel cost about $25.00 per metre.
    Take a look at Marshall Dry Goods too.

    Your fabric choice's are so pretty, I hope you show us your finished project. You may want to try Thousands of Bolts.... they have many choices when it comes to flannels as well as children's fabric.

    Some of JoAnn's flannels is just junk. I bought 4 one yard pieces , washed and dried them prior to using them in my quilt and they pilled! I used them on the back of the quilt and threw the scraps away.

    I've bought and washed over well over 100 yards of JoAnn's flannel over the last year or so, and all have come out usable, most of them excellent. I do prefer the prints--they seem generally to be a bit thicker than the solid colors, with a few exceptions. ( I use myself or donate to my sewing group for Linus Project quilts as backings, and for self-binding receiving blankets and flannel pillowcases.)
