If I really like it, about 3 metres, just over 3 yards... I think. I won't any less than 1 metre if it's on the bolt.
for fat quarters, I will buy them if they're either in a bundle or there's a few of them in the collection that I like.
Granted, I'm been making Quilts of Valour and saw some fabric that was great for backing... bought all the 10 metres because it was in the sale at a rock bottom price. I just couldn't walk away from it. :wink:
