when they are on sale at JA's, like last week for .75 it's a steal of a deal. I make just about anything with them. they are great to add color to your stash. A lot of the patterns I use just call for a bit. I do a lot of applique and i get my variety that way. Even other crafts that i do, or somewhere along a project, i use a fat quarters fabric. I like them better than a lineal quarter yard, i get more use out them.
