If you had the choice, what would you choose (fabric question)
 

For the same price would you choose

a set of 33 fat quarters consisting of 1 fat quarter of every fabric in the line or...

a set of 8 one-yard pieces (no choice but it is a pre-made pack so I can see the fabrics in it) plus two more yards of my choice. So no more than 10 different fabrics but more of each one.

Depends on what type of project(s) you have in mind.......both sound enticing! :)

yeah...it would depend on what you want to do with it.

i must say i would be nervous about both though. with the fat quarter pack you have a little of lots of different fabrics. i would probably end up buying yardage for a border to tie it together anyway. with the other, you have just 1 yard of a few, and again you would be constrained in your pattern choice by that.

BUT!

if you have patterns in mind, buy for those!

No pattern in mind. I have a gift certificate and there's a certain fabric line that I like. I just am not sure what is more versatile down the road. When it comes right down to it, it probably doesn't matter. Whatever I end up with, I'll find a use for it. I just overthink things sometimes.

I don't know what I would do... probably the yardage because less choice of fabric. with 33 different fat quarters I would overthink it also (too much choice, and too little of each).. I think loll

fat quarter bundle, can never have to much variety!

i prefer yardage cuts

With fat quarters you get 8 1/4 yards versus the 10 yards with the 8 yard pack plus two yards. Depends on what you are doing with it.

I think I would prefer yardage. I was given a lovely gift of 40 fat quarters from a single line, but I'm struggling to find a pattern that makes use of most of it. Most patterns use a few fat quarters plus several extra yards of fabric.

Maybe my math is wrong but when I went to school 33 fat quarters equals 8 1/4 yards. But 8 one yard pieces plus 2 yards of your choice equals 10 yards. You said they were both for the same price. Sounds like the one yard pieces would be the better deal.
