Online Quilt Shops with small minimum cuts
I am making a stained glass quilt (presumably as a Christmas gift, but
I never promised which year, so I should be safe). Many of the fabrics only call for 1/8 yard. Since I am trying to keep my spending to a minimum, I don't want to use this as a stash-increasing excuse. Unfortunately, many/most online shops that I frequent require 1/2 yard minimums per fabric. Does anyone have any suggestions for reputable online shops with smaller minimum cuts? TIA, Melinda. (deMoMo) |

www.fatquarterfever.com sells fat quarters. I don't know if that would work
for your project, but they have all kinds of bundles to choose from. HTH! Michelle in Gander "Melinda Hartman" wrote in message om...

Cotton Club has a minimum cut of one quarter, and will cut either regular
or fat, as you wish. www.cottonclub.com Becky "Melinda Hartman" wrote in message om...

Thank you to everyone for your help! I ended up going to a semi-local
quilt shop (about an hour away) since I wanted to be able to really see the fabrics. And I found out when I got there that the minimum cut is 1/8 yard! I was both gladdened and saddened by that. So I bought a few extra fabrics "just in case" with some of the money that I saved by not buying 1/4 yards. - Melinda. "Becky" bbkelher@remove spamaculink.net wrote in message ...
