Well if the quilt shop charges $12/yard for all their fabric, $3/FQ would be right. The local quilt shop I go to charges **exactly** 1/4 of the price of a yard for a FQ (and 1/8th price for F8) -- they sticker each one.
If I'm buying yardage in quarters they will ask if I want a fat quarter or regular quarter - they are happy to cut FQ and F8 for customers (unless they are having a big sale).
I've noticed a lot of quilt shops charge extra for cutting the FQ - I may be spoiled but I won't pay an up-charge for a Fat Quarter.
