    Default MASSDROP - CHAMBRAY FAT QUARTERS

    What's the general feeling about using Chambray in quilting. I notice Massdrop has a bundle of fat qtrs @ $39.99 +/-. Is that a good price and is chambray suitable for quilting? Anybody??

    Good question B, so I looked it up, here's a link, with multiple other reference sites on this particular fabric. Hope this helps!

    I think it would work. It is generally a little lighter weight than some cottons, but that shouldn't matter too much. I love the faded denim color.

    It makes a quilt. Good price depends on how much fat quarter you get for your money.

    "Spiced-Up Solids - 18 distinct shades including six unique metallics, the Andover Chambray Fat Quarter Bundle lets you stitch solid colors without letting style grow stale.
    Note: On this drop, you will receive 18 fat quarters measuring 18” x 21” each. All bundles are precut and continuous cuts are not available. There is a limit of 90 orders.
    Chambray Shades - On this drop, you will receive fat quarters in the foll. 12 Chambrays: Bluegrass, Currency, Garden, Gourd, Majesty, Marigold, Mystique, Ocean, Plum, Raspberry, Tailor, & Turquoise.
