I understand! I just ordered 6 fat qtrs, but only need 2 of them. The others are pretty additions to my stash for now. I feel stupid sending in such a tiny order, but can't afford more because we're on a very fixed budget!

I bought 2, and paid the shipping. I'm so bad. But they will be secret pals gifts.... maybe.

I see Fabric.com has it for $8.98 yd and if you bought 5 yds the shipping is free.

High shipping costs have saved me a lot of money over the years.

Totally agree

Shipping charges have killed lots of my purchases too - I hate it when I take the time to do all the order stuff, and see shipping so high I just walk away . . . . > :( < . . . .

Sludge. What a funny name for a colorway - but hey it grabs your attention. I have a question that is probably dumb, but what it is "shot cotton"?

I wonder why they didn't call this print millefiori? It looks so much more like thousands of flowers that like sludge!

Shot cotton is a lighter woven(?) fabric .. it's wonderful .. do you want me to buy some sludge shot cotton and we can each have 1/2 of your sludge and 1/2 of mine? ;-)
