Also, be aware that quite often the packaged fat quarters at Joann's are not truly "quarters". I've learned by personal experience that they quite often will be 17"x21" instead of the 18"x22" that a true fat quarter should be. I had purchased a pack of five for a specific project, then had to go back and purchase another pack because every single piece fell short of the true fat quarter measurements and I wasn't able to fudge on my pattern with the smaller pieces. I ended up having to piece the fabrics together to get the correct size. And, of course, Joann's got that extra money from me for the second pack that I really shouldn't have needed to buy. Just a warning.
