I received my 30 fat qtrs and love them. They don't all go together but I feel they are all top quality fabrics. If nothing else I'll make zippered make up bags or tissue holder to go in purses with the odd-balled ones.
Hope you find a use for them, maybe they'll grow on you.

And I'd guess the D9P would work even better---------specially if you used your favorites in the corners, the hated ones in the very center and the so so ones the center border squares.

After looking at the pictures, I went to Whittles' website and signed up for their mailing list to be notified for the next sale. I do not have much of a stash of quilting fabric yet, and for the price, some of them look OK to me. I realize that chance is involved here!
My question to others who have purchased FQs is this, do they indeed give you a decent 18" length, or are they cut short and crooked?

I can\u0092t send a pic in a private message... Hope it will be here for you.
