Does anyone else have a fear of buying FQ?
#51
I'm with you, I can't imagine what I would do with such small pieces. Also, I'm afraid of buying more than 2 yards of any fabric unless I'm specifically shopping for a quilt backing. I have to admit (shocking) that I have fabric that I just take out now and then and pet. I don't think I'll ever cut it.

The last 2 quilts I made were done with Batiks in many colors. It became a game as to how many I could buy. The next big quilt I am making I think will be made from Batiks also. Go get a FQ, it's only a few $$$ It's a cheap way to get a fabric fix.

You're asking the Fat Quarter Queen? (c'est moi) If you love half square triangles as much as I do, you won't believe how many you can get out of a FQ, if you cut wisely. Nope, I've never experienced even one nano-second of fear when confronted with a bunch of beautiful FQ! What I probably need is some of your fear!

i love fq... for me they are like the candy bars at the grocery store check out.... no matter what i went in for... i come home with a few....
since i like scrappy quilts the best, i always use them up... my ddil has been properly trained, and if she sees one @ the lqs that i might like, she brings them home for me....
