I too have noticed lately that most of the yardage is only 42" wide, hence the 21" width of the fat quarter, as Liz92B pointed out. So, in essence, yes, you're getting less for your money, as in everything else on the market these days. By reducing the container size, (ie the fabric width) manufacturers can justify keeping prices lower, or so they say. I think prices are still going up no matter what size the product is. I agree...nobody likes paying for things we're not getting, but is there an alternative? Probably not.
