Fat quarters are rarely enough for me of fabrics I like. Because I use them, they are gone in no time at all, although I do buy them from time to time. A half yard works nicely if you really don't know what you might want to use it in, but are just adding to your stash? Usually, they cut it a teensie bit bigger than half, whereas with fat quarters, they are rarely anything but exact, so I figure I get a tiny bit more fabric for my money and call it 2 fat quarters...three yards if it's going to be a fabulous background type fabric and 2 yards if I just love it!

By the way Booklady...I was working on some sawtooth blocks yesterday and used your tip and I had my tiny little half square triangles in no time at all! Woohoo! You've changed my life!
