Recently I bought a large bundle of fat quarters for a certain project & when I was finished most of the fabric was not used. Of course I love "scrappies" so I have no prolem with it, but I've seen "fat eighths" which are 11"x18" and think these would be nice when you need just a small amount of many colors, half the price of fat quarters too. Also for me everything doesn't have to be coordinated. Sometimes I'd just like a variety of patterns, colors, theme prints, etc.
