Update 11/21/2021: I can no longer get to this website, so I presume they are no longer in business.
I said that I was not going to buy anymore fabric this year. I lied. I found this great website, https://www.fatstackfabrics.com/ It came up on my feed, and I clicked on it. I always check out sales stuff on fabric retailers. However, I'm largely unimpressed when compared to the values that I get at Hancock's of Paducah.
I hopped over the Fatstack, clicked on their Super Sale, and I think wiped out much of their inventory! I was very impressed! The fabric is priced at 1/4" yd increments or as fat quarters. They offer free shipping over $35 which is much lower than most fabric places. Not only was the inventory I was interested in on close out, there was extra 15% off. This type of purchase offers the ability to build a stash of fabrics inexpensively. I will definitely be a frequent flyer there.
Reference: Most premium quilting fabric is $10-12 per yard.
Fat quarter bundles vary in their pricing (non-discounted). If I can get 12 fat quarters for $20 ish, that is a good deal. I recently purchased 2 bundles of Nancy Rink's Las Flores at $19.99 for 12.
It's a beautiful range of colors. As a reference one Etsy seller was selling 6 for $18. It pays to shop. And there are so many beautiful fabrics, I'm happy to choose closeouts. I don't care if I ever buy Kaffe Fasset or Tula Pink, as everyone uses them.
Back to Fatstackfabrics....
I procured 9.75 yards for $4 per yard.(though some of what I ordered was refunded as not in stock). Nevertheless, I call that a win. I rarely buy fabric unless it is discounted. And finding premium quilting fabric at $4 per yard is a score. I like to take my savings and buy useful tools that make my quilting life easier.
You can do so many things with small blocks of fabric. I'm not much of a scrappy quilt person, but I have lots of scraps, and I WILL use them. (I put my in scrap shopping bags).
But making mug rugs, postcards, hot pads...all useful, needful things.
