I find fq's are usually a bit more expensive than yardage. Lately I've been buying a bit more, cutting a half yard to make two fat quarters and taking a 2 1/2 strip for my own jelly rolls. I used to always cut a 6" strip off a piece of fabric when I used to exchange charms with guild members. I just made another Turning Twenty. That's about the quickest way to get the biggest, best bang out of twenty fat quarters.
