We've been thinking of offering landscape fabrics in pre-cuts. Including, say, two sky fabrics (dawn/sunset and blue), trees, tree bark, rocks, wildflower meadows, water... you get the idea.

Do you think there would be a market for it? And what kind of pre-cuts should we offer?

We offer fat 1/8s of I-spy bundles, but I'm thinking that fat quarters would be more useful. Eighths might be too small.

What do you think?

Fat quarters would be better than fat eights. Depending on the lay of the design maybe a straight cut 1/4yard wof or salvage 1/4 yd.

I think fat quarters would be best. I know some times its hard to find realistic clouds so i'd rather have too much then not enough.

FQ's are okay for some elements, but for the sky pieces, they are probably too small. I don't like to piece together a sky background :D:D:D

I think it is a super idea and I agree fat quarters would be the best.

I also think it's a great idea. FQs would be the right size for most things, but if I were looking for cloudy sky, I'd probably want 1/2 yd, so there would be no seams.

I acutally bought a kit like this last week at a show. It was fat 8ths for a little wall hanging or mini quilt but for $5 wasn't going to complain.
