ISO Kaffe Fassett fat quarters
#11
I think your DJ quilt will be beautiful So colorful,I love Kaffee and have been collecting fat quarters at every chance I get. there are several sellers on eBay who sell fat quarters and combine shipping so cost is reasonable. I have bought from them without any problems and good selections. I started civil war type DJ years ago,have about 20 blocks done.

or you could check out the FQ Bundles on www.fabric.com as you can see what is in them. At least there, you would have free shipping if over $35 and check out www.retailmenot.com for coupon code.

I just typed Kaffe Fassett into an ebay search and a ton of stuff came up. From remnants to fat quarters to 10inch square packs. I think a bundle/pack is the way to go. Even if you don't use everything for this quilt, you may need it for another quilt! Just make sure the seller has great feedback.

Thanks for all the suggestions! I found out that I could buy quarter yards at Glorious Color online and used that as my primary source but I also got some fat quarters on eBay. I have finished the last block and after seeing it all laid out I've decided to re-do about 5 of the blocks with different fabric. Here's a picture of it on the floor with the top row of triangles - all the other triangles are done but I ran out of floor room. Now on to the sashing, and I'm thinking about trying quilt-as-you-go rather than sending it to a long-arm quilter. Just not sure how QAYG would go on such small blocks. I highly recommend trying a Dear Jane if you are up for a long-range project with some challenging blocks. I've been sewing for 30+ years but I learned a lot, and my skills with applique got waaayyyy better in the process of doing this quilt.
