    If you have 3 complete sets of the fat quarters, you could try out one set as a complete bundle and split up the rest by colors. After whatever time you deem appropriate, the complete set could be split if it doesn't sell.

    One of my first big purchases when I entered the world of quilting last year was a fat quarter bundle of Moda's "Nostalgia", all the fabrics. It's still sitting in a box. I'm scared to touch them. I don't want to ruin them. I just want to look at them....they're so pretty, all tied up in a bow...

    I would set them out as individual, let the buyer decide. Just my $.02.

    I generally always buy complete collections when I can. I'm a stasher and like having fabric on hand fotr whatever I might want to start in the middle of the night. Lots of times I'll see a quilt or project showcasing a group of fabrics and I'll have to have them. I may or may not ever make that specific project but just seeing the possibilities sticks with me.

    So to answer your question...YES I frequently but BIG collections of FQs and I NEVER regret it...and it's always JOYful!

    I bought a set, and had them for a long time, finally used them in my son's Christmas quilt. I don't think I would do it again.

    Oh my gosh. That fabric is too hard to pass up. I'd buy the whole set too. I couldn't decide.

    Yes, I agree. Let them mix and match to get what they like together.

    I'd have to go for the set. I've bought large groups of FQ's before and I did not regret it at all. So I paid a little more for it than if I bought it all separately....someone went to the time and trouble to mix and match all of them together, cut them and then *neatly* folded them. That shouldn't be free...

    I say keep big bundles...from the responses on here..if you said you were doing that, you would probably already have them sold. They are really pretty!

    Well... I had to buy four boxes full ('cause that was the minimum order)... and, well, that's like having too many puppies. I can keep a set for myself to play with but I will have to find homes for the others.

    Okay, so maybe this is a silly question, but WHERE will you be selling these? I think I will have to have them!
