IMHO $22 + shipping for 6 fat quarters-our local quilt shop has better deals than that off-sale on name brand fabrics. Many online stores offer yardage cheaper on high end quality fabrics and if you spend over a certain amount-shipping is free. Patterns are free online also. I get the convenience they are offering, but being new to this, more research may be needed before committing. Moda, RJR, etc all show their fabrics, and offer free patterns with their fabrics. This is very helpful to a beginner learning the ropes of color coordinating and pattern choosing. You asked and this is my opinion. P.S. I have bought from Annies and would do so again.
