WalMart is now bringing back to their stores a very nice line of fabrics, qujilting notions, as well as all of the accessories, and a lot of the fabric I saw was the same as JoAnn's had for several dollars more.

some of Marti Michelle patterns call for fat quarters that are based on 45" fabrics- now how long has it been since fabrics were usable at 45" so if cut in half a fat quarter is not 23"X 18 and that makes a difference, so again consumers beware, Thanks the the tip I had not noticed the difference.
I always feel like the value is shrinking on FQ seems to be so many of them because it;s never enough for the project,
but they are cute in baskets . . .

We use to be able to buy those for less than a dollar.
Yeah, same thing happened to me. I lost 3 out of the dozen I bought, but they were only .75 cents each. Still irrating tho.
