Fabric Deals - May 6, 2023
For the month of May, all Bella Solids at Fat Quarter Shop are on sale. This is a GREAT time to stock up on basics. Usually, I buy 2-3 yard cuts when I stock up on background fabric since I like to use different shades of white depending on the fabric collection (I know, I'm living life on the wild side). If you prefer to use the same shade for most of your projects, you could buy a bigger cut.
Here are some of my favorite background fabric shades of Bella:
I'm going to try to focus on yardage cuts this week. When I am buying yardage, I usually buy 1/4 or 1/2 yard cuts of fabrics that I think I will use once or twice and 2 yards of fabrics that I think I will use in multiple projects. These multiple-project purchases are either basic prints (like Speckled or Add it Up) or they are prints that are a color that is difficult to find (purple!).
When I purchase yardage, it is usually solids or prints that have a very limited range of colors (usually just one). For more colorful prints, I usually buy precuts.
I also keep a decent stash of backing fabrics and will stock up if I find yardage for a good price. Since I mostly make lap quilts, I try to buy 4 yard cuts for backings.

I hope you find something fun here! I try to put together a list of fabrics that are well-priced but are also things that I would love to have in my fabric stash. Buying fabric can be intimidating and expensive, but it can also be lots of fun.
