Kasssundra is correct. If you go with fat quarters, remember they must be prewashed. That can be tricky and you’ll have to do it in a sink or tub. By machine, you’ll end up with a lot of loss. Also, the selvages must be removed as well and then the fabric is cut into 11x18 inch pieces. You may find your fat quarters are then too small to get two from each. If you can get the size, you’re golden. But most of us usually go with yardage to be safe and save redoing it. But it’s your choice.
It it doesn’t matter if everyone gets the same fabric. Also your choice.
