on the convo of fats i kind of put off buying them till the other day it was all i could get for a wall hanging couldnt find any bolt fab i liked was at joanns when i got home i went to put them away with the other fats and realized i already had that color but low and behold i had bought the first set a walmart and guess what...they are exactly the same only difference is price $1.00 at wally world $1.99 at joanns so from now on i will check at walmart first! and when you compare the price it can be a better deal depending on what you are buying i was getting batiks

There on sale at Joanns right now for .99cents.

$1.00 seems good to me. I have seen a lot higher. If you bought four FQ's, it shouldn't cost you more than you would pay for a full yard...hopefully, less.

4.50 --5.50 here, lucky, lucky you

In Phoenix we have SAS, which is a fun warehouse of fabrics, many sold by the pound. If you know which fabric is good quality, you can get some deals there. I've been going there since my grandma took me as a little girl in the 60s.

depends on the quality of the fabric

our local shop charges $2.50 but I always visit when she has it on sale.

My knitting group meets every Saturday from 2 pm to 4 pm. We can learn together as I've only dabbled before. Our group does more than just knitting. In addition to our personal projects, we make toy baby blankets, by any crafting method desired (and yes I've seen 12x12 quilts made for the project,) for local charities for Christmas. This is in conjunction with two other groups that make the baby dolls and the cradles. The goal is 500 units. I'm not sure what the current count is but all blankets are turned in by the November meeting (another group that meets the 2nd Wednesday of every month at the Hamilton Library on Bert Kouns Ind. Lp.)

I have a couple of basic projects I started over 20 years ago and they are just now seeing the light of day. They've been well stored so I haven't found any weathering of any kind taking place.

Long time quilter, but perhaps a little ignorant, have never heard of a 12x12 quilt. What is it?

Lilrain, our group is one of many that makes 12" by 12" blankets for the Christmas project (blanket, baby doll, crib). There was one person who used the opportunity to make 12" by 12" miniature quilts (tops and backing only with edging) for the project. I didn't mean to cause any confusion.
