See those ladies sprawled in chairs at the back of the shop, sweating, drinking Gatorade, and panting - they just cut a fat quarter for you.

ROFLOL!! This is funny!

I just bought 40 fat qtrs for $25.00 from Quilter's Paradise who is going out of business. The shipping rather stunned me at first, but it still came to like .87 each fat qtr with the cheapest shipping of $10.09, so I did it.

I was going through their online ad, but I thought I understood it to say you only got the discounts if you purchased $100 worth. Am I wrong?? Yes, I thought the shipping was exorbitant too.

Keepsake has them 100 for $100 (seasons past), Connecting Threads have them for under $1 and you can get misc ones from FabricDepot for less than $1. I can't afford the new stuff so these are some of the places I go.

These are the fat quarter blowouts below that. I believe what you are referring to was for 50% off the prices as shown and I paid the price shown; no 50% discount.

I rarely get fat quarters unless it is something I am going to use a tiny bit of. I usually get 1-3 yards of what I like.

They are $6.50 in our neck of the woods...I prefer to buy 20cm or 25cm as I find it more versatile.

I work at our local quilt shop and we started charging $3 a fatt quarter last January. We are getting fabric as high as $11.75 a yard now. There is the added cost of paying someone to cut all the fatt quarters as well. I often remind customers that I don't mind cutting a quarter yard if they don't need the "fat". If I am supplying my stash I often get third yard cuts.
