Does anyone have any great FQ patterns?
You can Google for Fat Quarter patterns. I know there are some out there.
I love fat quarter quilts. They are so easy to do.

Has anyone made this quilt (the double irish chain) that can tell me how many yards I need for each color?

Thanks!
Can you post the fabric requirements?

I spoke to the Joann's employee yesterday I asked what was the point of getting the home flier if you could just pick one up in the front of the store. She said if you get the flier at home and the coupons on the net and the flier at the front of the store you can use all three on one order (three items). Otherwise you can't use two front of store coupons at once. Does that make sense?

That really doesn't make sense. Just because they are from three different sources doesn't change the fact they are the same coupons. Silly rule.

If you buy the yardages and have many coupons, depending on who's cutting and at the register, they will use all the coupons on one transaction. I would ask first before cutting.
I had skimpy FQs from Jo-Ann's too. That was several years ago and I haven't bought any since. Plus some of the fabrics in the pack were kind of icky.

I've never seen a coupon IN a JoAnn's store.

The impression I got was that one could use three coupons (from different sources - they are supposed to have different bar codes) on three different items with one purchase.

I don't know how large of a quilt that you want to make but I have the yardage requirements for both the single and the double irish chain.
The following requirements are for the Double chain,
Baby quilt:
1 yard light, 1/2 yd. medium, 2/3 yd. dark

Lap:
1 1/2 yds light, 3/4 yds. medium, 1 1/4 yds dark

Twin:
2 yds. light, 1 yd. medium, 1 1/2 yds. dark

Double:
2 1/4 yds. light, 1 1/8 yds. medium, 1 7/8 yds. dark

Queen:
2 2/3 yds. light, 1 1/4 yds medium, 2 1/8 yds dark

King:
3 yds light, 1 1/2 yds. medium, 2 1/2 yds dark

I hope this helps! :D

I was told the same thing, but she also said that they would be phasing out the mailers sent to the home...postage was getting too expensive. They were going to emailed fliers and the ones at the store/newspaper ad. So you would still be able to use 2 of them at the same time.

Not sure if I am replying correctly but the reason they tell you to get the coupon on line and the flyer from the mail and the store is because the UPC codes are all different. You can not use the same UPC code more the once per purchase.

Our Joann's flyers in the store do not have the coupons in them. This happened to a lady while I was in the checkout line so I gave her one I was not using and she was so happy. That was my good deed for the day.
