I found this out when I make a pattern that called for a mixture of 18 fat quarters. There's a shop in town (name withheld) that is famous for shorting you. As a result I no longer buy fat quarters but a buy a full 1/2 yard of what I need. A little extra fabric never hurts a girl...right?! The wall hanging and mug rug are too cute! Wish I had 1/10 of your creativity!!

So far the companies were Hoffman, Marcus Brothers, and Moda. The worst issue I found was a jelly roll where many of the strips were not cut on the grain and therefore had that dreaded bow on the fold of the strip. That same roll had atleast 6 to 8 strips where the selvage ends were totally 'off'. They veered from a straight line to as much as 3/4" at the selvage. Honestly, my 10 year old granddaughter can cut better than that!!! I wrote to the online store where I'd purchased the roll from and sent pictures of the mess! They were understanding and said Marcus Brothers had become aware of the problem and offered me the roll at about half off; I accepted their offer. Now I've had second thoughts because the quilt top just never has lain properly. That was the worst issue I've had. Truly, if companies are going to offer pre-cuts, they should definitely be cut properly. I mean, we pay MORE for them to cut the fabric rather than doing it outselves.LJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01612629420194084787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1906296252131082397.post-3091837336128508082014-04-13T11:42:14.446-04:002014-04-13T11:42:14.446-04:00You are just so, so clever.

I made the assumption that they would all be the same size. NOT! I don't even know the brand because I had gotten rid of the wrapper before I discovered.
