    "The one yard box was the worst. I got three of the same ugly red-brown fabric."

    What Bonnie Hunter says about using ugly fabrics - "if it's still ugly, you haven't cut it small enough"!
    Creative clutter is better than idle neatness.

    True! I also found that an ugly fabric can end up being a perfectly decent binding.

    I look at these fat quarter boxes all the time, but I've never bought one. Being in Australia, the postage is almost the same as the box itself!!

    LOL Love these comments! Like silliness, I purchased a one-yard box from Craftsy and was so disappointed when I opened it... none of the fabrics were really inspiring to me. My original intent was to use them for making bags, but nothing was appealing for that purpose... so maybe I ought to get that box back out, and start cutting those suckers into smaller pieces!
