Went to our local Hancocks the other day and picked up a couple of fq. Washed, ironed and got ready to cut it and it was cut at an angle 18 x 20 not straight at all. Luckaly I still can use this I don't need it all. And also I think it is a little thin but then maybe its just me.

The only manufacturer I will buy FQs from is Moda, they seem to do a good job at cutting. Though i also just had some from Riley Blake that were nicely cut too. I have found most other manufacturer's (like the ones at Joanns) don't take care when cutting, so I don't bother unless I know I don't need the full width of the FQ (like if I plan on just using it for bits and pieces). I will buy FQs from a few select quilt stores because they hand cut and seem to do a good job. Other than that I will just buy a half yard of fabric off the bolt and make two of my own FQs. :)

I did order some fabric from Hancocks. I noticed it was cut wonky. Luckily, like you, I didn't need the exact amount so I was OK. I have heard good things about fabric from Connecting Threads. I am expecting an order to come tomorrow. Only ordered 2 fat quarters, mostly thread, so we'll see how that goes.
