I agree-I love the 'deals' and the quick service

I love fat quarters. I usually get them from ebay, but occasionally other places if the price is right. Right now I have a bid up for a set of 10 fat quarters at a price of $5, so with shipping (if I win), it would be about $11.50. A while back I got 11 fat quarters for 14.00 and free shipping. I use them for smaller projects, small doll quilts, table runners, etc.

Hey, Val in Ind. Your idea of buying an extra yard and cutting it into strips and fat quarters is a neat hint. Thanks for the tip.

Love, love, love FQs! However, I've purchased only one precut stack (batiks). I often buy a half yard off the bolt and then, if I like, I can cut it into 2 FQs = a little cheaper.

I like my fat qtrs as a newbie it gives me more play room with colors. But planned larger quilts I go for yardage. My last quilt for DGS has enough yardage left over to make one for his dad using leftovers - no out of pocket expense except for the batting (purchased on sale of course).

I bought 3 packages of fat quarters 12 pieces in a package for $3.99 a package That was a good buy for me working on a quilt now using them

I don't usually buy fat quarters. I buy when on sale, and usually there is a 1/2 yd minimun. I do, however buy a lot of half yard cuts and make fat quarters out of them, but that is when I need one for guild or a swap. Before I had a stash, I did buy fat quarters for a small project here and there, but now, I don't really need to, since I have a large stash.

I use fat quarters only when I need to add variety to what I don't have in my stash. If I am trying to fussy cut, they are just a waste of fabric because in many prints, I miss more of the pattern than I cut out. Judge for yourself. The smaller the print and repeat, the more you may be able to use, and the larger the print, the more you will waste.

I wouldn't hesitate to buy from Missouri Quilting. I've watched their videos on YouTube, and I think any company that puts that much attention into educating their customers (and doing it so professionally) would have excellent customer service. I haven't bought from them yet, but I will.

I like fat quarters....I do a lot of applique and its much easier to use a fat quarter for speed and convience.....I also like f/q for storing...and I also use them for my Cricut when I cut fabric....and thats my story and Iam sticking to it lol.....Trish :)
