You are welcome!

About the pricing, it's better for the consumer to think in yards. And, maybe a caption saying what the smallest increment is. Most places will not sell less than a yard, some 1/2 yard and some 1/4 yard increments. It's confusing when their pricing is based on another sizing/cut. The local quilt/fabric stores here price by the yard and if you buy 1/2 yard, they cut the price in half and round up to the nearest cent. There are times when I have wanted a bunch of skinny quarters. If fabric is $10 a yard, it's easy to figure that a skinny quarter would be $2.50 (or 1/4). Or 1/3 yard cuts, $3.34 each. But if it's sold in half-yard increments you are pretty much limited to what size is available.

But, if you ever get a chance to shop in Hancocks at the actual store there in Paducah - it's an awesome experience. They have so much fabric that you could be lost in there forever!
