If you have to add postage to your order of fat quarters, then that will up the price per fat quarter. Something to consider. I had never even heard of batik fabric until a few years ago when I bought a beautiful pattern that called for 30 batik fat quarters. I fell in love with batiks and was buying all of the pretty fat quarters that I could find - not that easy since not all quilt shops cut theirs into fat quarters. Then I found more patterns/pretty quilts that used batiks and I quit buying fat quarters and started buying 1/2 yards, then one yard pieces, then, heck, bought as much of a beautiful batik that I had money for. Good luck in whatever you do.

Thanks everyone!! I appreciate all your help with all my questions!

Check out thousands of bolts, if you order 1/2 a yard cut it in half you have fat quarters for $1.25 each on most of there fabrics. It is quilt shop quality.... I do order from keepsake it's great quality too I used to do their moda fat quarter of the month club

Check out Connecting Threads.com. They carry only their own line of fabrics, but have great prices. Also Fabric.com.

After stacking 6 fat1/4s to cut out a 'stack n whack' quilt I discovered all fat1/4s are not cut equal, some being short and others crooked. So now I buy 1/2 yds - or mtrs - and cut them in half when needed.

4my3boyz has $1 FQs

My granddaughter who is 3 is collecting fat quarters for her first quilt. I told her we will start it when she is 4 and can somewhat help at the sewing machine. In the mean time she is collecting several fat quarters every time we are somewhere they sell them. I usually get at least 2 of each one. That way we have at least 1/2 yard of a color. She has so many that we have multiples of several colors. Or if it is a color that she REALLY LIKES then I will get a few more while I can find it. She has several hundred so far. We also have the backing picked out for a full size quilt. She sits on the floor arranging the colors and we take pictures of what she designs for future reference.

joanns has sales where fat quarters are only a buck...normally they are $2

you must have been very lucky to get 6 fat quarters to pattern match to be able to cut for a S&W.........

Today - 6/18/14 - Thousands of Bolts is having a FQ Blowout sale. Ten FQs for $12.95. They are one of my go-to on line dealers as they have good fabric at good prices. I took advantage of their FQ sale a couple of years ago and wasn't sorry. If you are stash building it is worth looking, but don't delay as they don't do this all the time and when the supplies are gone, they are gone. http://www.thousandsofbolts.com/inde...rchsubmitted=1
