    Then you should find a site that allows 1/4" cuts for the colors.

    Some of the ones listed upthread do.
    Also, there is
    http://fatquartershop.com/
    and
    http://www.stitch-n-frame.net/ (I LOVE this shop)


    That way you can get the most variety for one shipping amount (if you don't want to go to a LQS).
    However, if you do go to a LQS, you don't run the risk of choosing something that doesn't play well with the others.

    (I'm currently having the hardest time coming up with a selection of turquoise fabrics that I like together.)

    Is this a queen bed quilt or a throw (like 72" square-ish)?

    Look at www.retailmenot.com and type in whatever shop you are looking for discounts too.

    I am not completly decided yet on the size. The bigger the better - until it comes to the quilting on my little machine :)

    I am a huge fan of Thousands of bolts. They just had a sale .. it may still be going on . Do use the search function as they really do have thousands of bolts.

    I recently bought sme white Kona cotton and I was amazed at its quality. Not see-through but nice and solid. Not sure who has the best price.
