I don't mind the 1/2 yard increments. Sometimes I just want a 1/2 yard and I can add the dollar amounts in my head if I want a full yard. The price for a 1/2 yard is half of what you'd pay for a yard, so what's the big deal? A lot of website cut minimum of a yard and I like samplers of a 1/2 yard of each, if I'm adding to my stash.
