What kind of "quarters" do you prefer?

Love the fat quarters as I make a lot of fabric gift bags, and sometimes need the width. Of course, if I have lots and lots of monetary quarters I'm able to buy more fabric to make more gift bags...it's a win, win situation!!!

Well this is interesting, what people think when it comes to fat quarters. Personally I am not a shopper of fat quarters on any description. This isn't to say I don't have any of them as I do buy the occassional FQ however on the whole I think fat Quarters are not cost effective and so I will buy at least a 1/2 metre of something I like and a whole metre or more of anything I really like
Not much help I'm afraid LOL

I buy FQ's when the pattern calls for a layer cake. I can buy 40 cheap FQ's for about the cost of a layer cake and have 2 layer cakes, 4 charm packs and a half strip jelly roll for the same money. I'm making snuggle quilts, not heirlooms, so I love FQs at Joann's when they are on sale for 99 cents.
