Or are you more drawn to groupings of just one or two colors? I like a riot of fabrics. I do not think I ever bought just two color ways. The bigger the pack the more colors the smaller maybe less. |
I purchase a lot of Charm Packs, and all of the fabrics are complimentary and from the same line. This would be great, to have 24 or 32 as do the charm packs.

I want designers to come up with more small prints on white or ecru. I do a lot of scrappy stuff and would love to have more choices of "background" fabrics. They are near impossible to find these days! And... I don't buy bundles or charm packs or anything like that. I get single fat quarters, half yards, whole yards, etc. I like to do my own matchy or mismatchy thing. That's most of the fun!

I like to pick & choose. Also compare - if I can buy 1/2 yd. for only pennies more than FQ, why buy FQ?
Current temptation is "stack" of 10" squares. |
To me, the question depends on what your customers use fat quarters for - I've made a lot of things with bundles of five (totes, place mats, baby quilts), have also sprung for larger bundles if I know what I'm using them to make.
For me the larger the bundle, the more I'm relying on you to coordinate the fabrics on my behalf (some days I really need the help!). But sometimes I'm intimidated by such a large grouping so can talk myself out of it. Some of the fabrics you've previewed for us here often have ten or more combinations and I usually want them all, but I can't mentally visualize all of them in a single project. They say the reason telephone numbers are seven digits is because that's all our little brains can comfortably manage. And maybe theme bundles are another idea - Lucky 7, Wicked 6, Lost Sox 9 (none of them coordinated but somehow cool together), Baker's Dozen, Advent 24... I think offering your own combinations is a great idea, and smaller bundles are more likely to sell. I also like the idea of custom bundles, I'd suggest these could be offered if buying ten or more since your costs are in the cutting. My apologies if all this makes your head spin, my hubby would be rolling his eyes at my philosophizin', so ignore whatever doesn't grab your interest, and thanks for letting me ponder out loud. |
I'd like at least 8 with 4 light and 4 dark or bright
|
FREE ONES! Sorry, I just couldn't help myself! LOL
|
I like my FG Bundles to have a range of colors. Several lights, mediums and darks. Then I can pick and choose what I want to add or take out
|
I like at least 10 and I like getting 1 colorway, preferably blenders, from light to dark, so I can add either my own focus fabric or buy yardage for my focus fabric.
|
My favorite are the large Fat Quarter Bundles by Moda with 40 fat quarters. That way I can see how many projects I can make out of one bundle - I love it!! The only hard thing is seeing all the Fat Quarter Bundles coming in everyday for my store, and trying not to rip them all open!! :D
