    I'd LOVE to have some of most of these...and would probably be more tempted by colorway bundles. However, the pricing would be an issue for me...I don't pay premium prices for precuts...I'd purchase what I wanted for the best overall price. Hard to go wrong with Halvorsen! Bundles are great but not when they're priced above available yardage.

    Meaning that as long as the price for FQ is the same as it would be for 2.25 yards of fabric, that the price is okay?

    (For what it's worth... buying the pre-cut FQs from Benartex, when you figure out the per-yard price, they charge us 50 cents more per yard for the pre-cuts. I'm thinking that it would be about the same, figuring the labor costs, to pay someone to cut and *neatly* fold the FQs from running yardage.)

    I can see why you have a dilemma--I just love that set! I would have had a hard time passing them up too. IMHO, they need to be sold all together as a set! Someone will buy them that way--you have to remember--you bought them as a set too...

    I have to agree. Those are beautiful!!! I think they would sell better as a set.

    This a beautiful collection and I would buy the whole thing if it came with a pattern. The colors blend together beautifully.

    LOVE them! I don't usually buy bundles, as there are usually some I just don't care for. Not the case with this line, they are all lovely. Beautiful to do something springy with.

    I bought a large bundle similar to this a couple years ago. I bought it without any pattern in mind and had no idea what to do with them. I finally pulled them out last year and made 2 quilts, one for my mother and one for my grandmother. It worked out perfect. I used the same pattern for each but one was a little larger than the other. Bundles this large are great for more than one project!

    Yes, the price for the bundle and the price for an equal amount of yardage need to be the same for me. If there's a difference then I'll opt for half yard cuts of only the pieces that I am absolutely crazy over...assuming that yardage is available. There's just nothing about precut bundles that makes me want to pay more than full price for fabric.
