    They are beautiful!! If my lqs offered the set with a commitment to buy over a 3 or 4 month period I would absolutly buy them. I take it you have a store, are you online?

    I would definitely buy the pack of 36..would be great for the turning twenty I want to do. Gives lots of options! Love all the fabrics btw.

    Have any of you ever bought a BIG collection of FQs - major splurge? Or wished you had? Joy or regrets, either way?
    One of my first Purchases at a quilter':
    a 50 piece FQ set of Batiks,no two alike.I think it was from Nancy's Notions.about 5 years ago.
    Cost me a pretty penny. But i never regreted it..they were wonderful,beautiful and i used them in appliques,gave some away as gifts, and made a star quilt out of the rest.
    :-D

    Do you keep track of your market (what your customers tend to be drawn to)? I'd bundle them based on what sells best for you - how about grouping one of each fabric design together by color? What I mean is take one each of the greens and bundle them together, all blues and bundle together, etc. Fold them in an interesting design and add a little "bonus" to the ribbon - a little silk flower, a little bell - something inexpensive but unique.

    What about kitting the entire 36 - give it about a week and if they aren't selling - then consider breaking them up into smaller groups. May find you don't really have enough to break up at that point - especially if you let those on this thread know about it.

    Did you buy so many because you own a store? Or are they for your personal use?
    Doesn't sound like too many to me.
