Well 8 fat quarters breaks down to 2 yards of fabric for 19.99; that's 9.99 a yard; so not totally unreasonable given that most fabric per yard at a good quilt store is 10.99 and up per yard. I'd check youtube and see if they have quilts made with fat quarters. I saw one done on the Donna Jordan videos. I don't remember the name off hand. There are sure to be some out there.
