I don't by bundles of FQ's or F8's, but I have been known to buy a 1/4 yd of a large grouping of a particular line I like just so I have a nice sampling. Half yard can get real expensive if you want to buy a little of most everything in a line. I'm a collector. However, I can work the 9X42 pieces into some sort of throw quilt with some additional fabric for borders and backing.
