I'm going to order the grab bag of eight 1/2 yard cuts of the Harvest Home collection for $21. I have 2 jelly rolls of that plus two 1yd and one 2yd cuts. I have some tentative plans for it but I can expand my options beyond jelly roll size with the half yard cuts.

Just looking through some older posts and wondered, did you order poundage from Fat Quarter Shop? What kinds of fabrics, quality and sizes did you get with the package. I have considered purchasing this way but was always weary of what I was really going to get. Was it worth it? Would you do it again?

looks great! I just sent a box weighing 17 lbs. to a friend but it included notions. I didn't figure out how many yards of fabric were in it, but I had a larger box and I couldn't carry it, so I had to do 2. At least now I know I sent a box worth receiving.

So- overall- was all the quality real good? Would you recommend to someone purchasing the same way?

Thanks!

Pam I won an auction for Moda Strawberry Lemonade fabric on Ebay. I was to pay shipping for 12 lbs but the box weighed in at 15 lbs and I got a shopping bag from private Seller full to the top. It was still in the original quilt shop bag they purchased the material from. I got yardage, 35 FQ's, 4 jelly rolls, and at least 10 charms packs. I paid $19.90 plus 10.00 s+h - $29.90 total! That was my deal of the decade! Harvest home is beautiful and so are your quilts! I'm sure you will make something magnificent out of it!
