Connecting threads doesn't charge any more for cut fabric than it does for yardage. It makes their jelly rolls very reasonable. I love Moda charm packs when I can get them at a good price. There's a lot you can do with a 5" square or a 2 1/2 strip. I did think the Moda Fandango had some unmatched prints in it, but sewed together, it was gorgeous. For me, it's a great way to get a variety living in a small town.

I have never bought any of the cuts smaller than a fat quarter. I'm just too cheap I guess and when I stop and figure how much per yard I'd be paying, I just can't do it. Besides, I LOVE cutting my quilts. Some of my UFOs are just cut because I was so anxious to cut into the fabrics but didn't have time to actually sew it. I'd love to provide a cutting service to anyone who wants their quilts cut for a fee, but it would probably be too costly to pay the postage!

Guilty...love the color collections of FQs and Jelly Rolls. They are just so darn cute on the shelf. Came home with 8 FQs yesterday from LQS closing..just couldn't leave them there...lol. We won't even discuss the yardage that came home with me.
