I paid 2.99.

I was in Longview (TX) over the weekend and I paid $3.00 for a fat quarter. If I hadn't needed to fabric I certainly would not have paid that much. Won't do it again. And I read in one of my groups that cotten has dropped in price.

At one of the hobby shops near me (it might just be local), they have fat quarters for $1.33. I checked on the selvages, and the ones I found were from RJR and Thimbleberries. They are probably older prints, but I don't care.

Depressing, isn't it? |
That's an outrageous price for a FQ!!! I would certainly never pay that much.

Right, you would need to buy 1/2 and you would get 2 fat quarters. The problem I have with these is that I never want to use them. I'm always afraid I will either be short or something. But then cutting any of my fabric is hard to use. Why? I have no idea, it's kinda like loosing my best friend.

3$ seems to be the standard for fat quarters. If I want more I buy the 1/2 yard. FQ's are impulse buys for me. I have many and am not sure what to do with them. Working on it!
|
$3.00 is a lot to pay for a fq in my budget.
|
I often purchase 2 fat quarters of the same fabric. If the price for 2 is less than the cost of 1/2 yard, I purchase the fat quarters. If it is more then I purchase a half yard of the fabric. It will be a long time however, before I pay $3.00 for 1/4 yard of fabric, no matter how much I like it!
