Yes, and I noticed that CT has reduced many of the prices on their prints. I'm really interested in CTs solids, mirages and batiks - think I will order a charm pack of each and see. Also, so that I can see the color variations, e.g. from one green to the next, when planning a project.

Speaking of prices - check the difference in CT pre-cut prices vs. big name mfr'r prices - WOW. I think CT is a step above most of Joann's fabrics but I was disappointed in the tone - everything I ordered seemed a bit dull. Hence, my idea to buy charms as samples.

I also like their thread - cheaper than Superior, though not as thin for log cabins, etc. - and great to use in the bobbin when I'm quilting, in addition to piecing.
