What kind of "quarters" do you prefer?

IMO, generally speaking I get more fabric from a fat quarter. So many cutters are careless and I'd not even try to get a 1/4 yd WOF.

I seem to be collecting fat quarters. I like them because I can get a large variety for not too much money. It seems the quilts I have been making lately need a large variety of fabrics. I recently made 2 quilts in 2 different classes that used almost all my leftovers. They were very scrappy.

If you want me to choose, I would buy a large fat 18 x 22. Now, if I know what I need and am doing I will only by a 1/4 yard of fabric so I can get the project done because some stores only sell fabric that way.

Yeah, depends on the project, and I agree with "auntpiggylpn" on costs...but usually I'll buy a 1/2 yard > cut it in half to make 2 FQ > use one FQ for a project and add the extra to my stash. Our guild is always doing some project that uses/trades FQ's.
