Most of my fabrics I bought (before I became disable) way before there were these names after food (of all things to name them after!).

I recently bought a Tonga Treat package of 20 6" strips. If you calculated the print of each 6" strip of fabric based on the price of $10.00 a yard, the cost would be $33.20. The retail price of this package was $36.99. I bought it at $21.25. That brought the cost of each piece down to $1.06 a piece or $6.37 a yard. I couldn't resist!! You have to be so careful because when you buy this precut items, they are being sold over the NORMAL retail price. But then there is an old American saying, "Time is Money". You just have to make a choice which is: is the precut fabric worth the extra cost over the time you save?? Good luck !!

PS. I find that not too many quilt stores are interested in cutting 1/8 of a yard cut.
