Don't really know -

but it figures out to $13.40 for 32 x 32 square inches - which would be approximately 2/3 of a yard of 42 inch wide fabric - or approximately $19.79 for the equivalent of a yard of 42 inch wide fabric.

Guess it depends on how attractive they are to you and how much you want them.

Thank you! That does help put it into persepective... I offered her a little less. I guess we shall see what she says. ANd then I will have to decide. I really would like to do a Dresden Plate with the fabrics...
