Does anyone know if the Craftsy Fat Quarter Boxes has 40 different fabrics or are there repeats? Thanks!

Does anyone know if the Craftsy Fat Quarter Boxes has 40 different fabrics or are there repeats? Thanks!

I had repeats - several were of 2 each.
Creative clutter is better than idle neatness.
If they are from a specific fabric line, there will always be repeats. Fabric manufactures can't afford print 40 or 42 fabric variations for just one collection.

I bought the free spirit fat quarter mystery box and the generic fat quarter mystery box. There was a few repeat in each box but very few, let's say I got 2 or 3 fabric that were double. Great variety overall.
I have bought several mystery boxes of fat quarters. Some had a few repeats, but not many. Each box has been great and I have been totally satisfied. The value for the cost is great, usually just a little over $1.00/fat quarter. The duplicates made that particular fabric more useful, and I love scrappy quilts.

Wow, I've never seen FQ boxes. Where do you find them? They sound like a good deal!
Craftsy is having a sale, some fat quarter boxes are included. Here is a link - http://www.craftsy.com/supplies/craf...x&startIndex=0
I'm very tempted by the price!

Just ordered a fat quarter mystery box. It's my first, but I could not resist. I hope I like it.Originally Posted by baronreads
I have always gotten repeats in the four mystery boxes I have purchased from Craftsy. The one yard box was the worst. I got three of the same ugly red-brown fabric. The fat quarter boxes aren't as bad because you get so many fabrics that a few repeats isn't that big of a deal. If you like the repeated fabric, you won't mind.
Make a charity quilt, and use that on the back. You can even plan it, to have a little of some matching color in the top.
