I'm sure it's great for those who like to just get on with the piecing. To each his own.....

We are not limited to purchasing only from "the usual suspects" of commercial businesses.
I'm just sayin'.

Me, I always wash fabric when I bring it home. I don't like the smell of it or the feel. I want to know what it's going to be like after it's laundered. To me, the sizing and dye take away from the real fabric.
I think fabric sizing is a way of hiding something...washing reveals the real fabric.. the quality.

Now - if washed fabric precuts were available - - -
What would you consider a "reasonable" price to pay for a 100 piece stack of washed 2.5 x 5 inch pieces?
(Even though I have a small drawer full of novelty fabrics cut this size - I'm hard-pressed to think of any other size cut that they will work well with. If I sew two pieces together, I end up with a 4.5 x 5 block. If I sew three together, I end up with a 6.5 x 5 block)
