    I sent an email stating---"you advertise your fat quarters as 18x10. A fat quarter is 18x21. Is this a misprint?"

    received answer----"Yes this is a misprint. Should be 18"x21". Thank You. Lani

    I would still call and check just what you are getting if you ordered from them. I think their prices were pretty high.

    Not ordering anyway, even at 18x22 inches I think they are priced out of line - especially since they don't describe what you get. Guess I don't like guessing games.
    Be warned. I am BORED.
    This could be dangerous.

    When you get cold just go stand in the corner.
    They are usually 90 degrees.

    A giraffe's coffee would be cold by the time it reached the bottom of his throat.
    Ever think about that? No? You only think about yourself??

    They've corrected the measurements on the website now to 18 x 21 (except for the tapestry fat quarters). Way to go Dolores! I agree that their price is high.

    No matter what you buy, you have to read how many pieces are in a bundle. Have seen "charms" with 10 pieces all the way up to 60 per pack. Same with layer cakes and jelly rolls....don't automatically assume they have 40-42 pieces. Guess there is no law of the land for charm packs, layer cakes, or jelly rolls. Read the fine print.

    Reminds me of when I used to buy an 8 oz can of tuna for .79 now it's 6 oz for 1.19. Pay more get less seems to be the motto of the day.
    Since you're always on my mind can you straighten out the mess up there?

And, the bundles have varying number of pieces from 7 to 15 pieces with prices running from $25.95 for 7 pieces to $49.95 for 15 pieces. No mention of manufacturer either.

    I hope no sane person falls for these (unless I have missed the fine print that says they are made with solid gold).

    What say you? Think this is an honest typo?

    Those aren't even fat eighths....(18x11 or 9x22)
    I would definitely call and ask.
