I also like small pieces of fabric, there are some online stores that are willing to cut 1/4 yard pieces. I go to quiltshops.com to find the fabric I am looking for, then I just start trying to put 1/4yd. in my cart, some will, some won't. Recently I have been looking for a specific line and wanted small cuts, the stores that had the fabric wouldn't allow me to buy 1/4 yd pieces. I sent an email to the shop stating that I would be interested in buying a large quantity of many small pieces of these fabrics as well as some larger cuts, would they consider cutting small pieces for me. I got a reply, and they said that they would do it and explained how to do the order. This is a long story just to say...it can't hurt to ask. They may not be willing to do it for a $10.00 sale, but if you are spending more, I would definetly try it.
