Thanks for the tip, Michelle! Now if their shopping carts work properly,
I'll be able to shop on-line.

I was actually looking for about a dozen fat quarters when I was defeated by
JoAnn's website, to cut into pieces for the borders in a Welsh quilt. They
were the kinds of prints I can't imagine using again -- chosen more for
their value as dark, medium, and light accents than for the beauty of the
design.

Jeanne,
It has to do with the way I quilt. While I think quilts that use the
same fabrics in every block are beautiful, it would drive me nuts to
make one. In my quilts, every block, even if the quilt is color
controlled, is made of different fabrics. I recently started a quilt in
which the predominant colors were purple, pink, and green. I had plenty
of different greens since it's one of my favorites, but needed purples
and pinks. I don't need a yard for one block; usually 1/4 yd will do.
Best regards,
Michelle in Nevada
