Yes, Nan, we miss their FQ towers also. We sold a lot of them and they were very popular.

I went the Bali Pop route one time for my first and only French Braid. I'll never buy them again. Unless the cutting accuracy has improved immensely, the advertised 2-1/2" width is unreliable. And anyway, I prefer yard goods. I've never bought fat quarters, but I might.

I prefer yardage over strips, but those "pops" are a bit pricey too!

It's true, any shop can make their own FQ bundles... and I might just have to do that.

But... with 14-20 different fabrics in each bundle, I don't think I could afford to do a dozen colorways, like Hoffman did. But then again, when they come out with new Bali pops they only do six colorways. So maybe I wouldn't have to be all THAT ambitious.

I was so hoping that they would have done FQ bundles of the lovely seahorse/seashell ones they made last year. Those were simply gorgeous. (sigh)

They used to do the big 839 FQ towers -- we sold the heck out of them, loved em. Big investment to buy 30 or 40 bolts of the same line though...

You're not kidding about that.

Let's see... I could order 100 bolts of batiks, and make five different gorgeous FQ bundles... but then we won't be able to buy anything else all month and... only batik lovers will be happy with me and everyone else will be mad.

Hmmmm... I don't think I should do that. :|

(It sure would be fun, though!)

I think their demand is yardage not FQ. I always do large quilts and need more.

Fat quarters and yardage.

Me too.

yardage over pre-cuts of any sort, whether FQ or pops.
