I don't mean FQs that shops cut themselves, I mean FQs that are cut by the manufacturers (Moda, Benartex, Hoffman, Kaufman...)
We haven't noticed any coming in short, but then we haven't actually checked them. I'm wondering if we should be running spot checks?
Yes, I bought Anthology Fabrics in they are listed on the box 18" x 22" - but when I measure them they are 17" x 21" - I measured a couple of them and they were all off.
Also, purchased some Westminster fat quarter bundle - at least its listed on the box as 17.5" x 21".
Finally, I bought some Walmart fat quarters - 17" x 21" so it seems like its becoming a standard... (new math???? )
