Ok the handicapped reason makes good sense. If I were unable to cut that myself I can see it. And I love scrappy quilts so sometimes even a quarter of a yard is too much for my needs, so I have bought layer cakes to get the variety without standing there for an hour waiting for them to cut 1/4 yards providing they even have all of the prints. Yeah it seems a good amount of change for conveinance but isn't that the way of the world? look at what we pay for water in bottles for conveinance.
