I found the regular size at amazon pretty reasonable, but I needed the larger size for LIFE magazines( they will fit my shelf opening better) and I am getting those on ebay!

What a great find, I only have Lowes here no Home Depot and NO coroplast boards....so these will work fine!

Job well done, now you will find yourself looking over your fabric, caressing it, oodleing over it but will you actually cut it!!!!!.

I got the boards at amazon for $15 shipped for a pk of 100 (I have prime right now but you can get 2 packs and get free shipping). Or if you have a store that sells comic books, you can probably get them there cheaper. I think I read that most stores sell them for less than $10.

And to answer other questions people might have. These boards are fairly bendy but kind of like that cardboard that shirt boxes are made of. But a little bit stiffer. I could wrap 3 yards on them (the fattest bolts you see) but I wouldn't put any more on one.

Maybe I will separate the fat quarters from the yardage too. When I was looking for a brown, I found a number of really beautiful fat quarters "lost" in the bigger pieces. Hmm...I would have used them for small/scrappy/gift projects had I know they were there.
