I've looked at the thrift stores by me without any luck

I purchase my fabric at JoAnns and Hobby Lobby. I REALLY like going to some of the quilting stores in the area,they have such NICE fabric. I dont buy online,I like to touch the fabric and see the true colors before I get it cut.
I just overhauled all of my fabric and realized that there is actually a little shelf space for some more,woohoo.

Is a fat quarter like 1/4 yard?

if you shop at the thift stores instead of looking for fabric why not just buy some clothes and take them apart and use the fabric? sometime if i find buttons i like on a blouse or jacket i'll buy it just to cut the buttons off because buttons are expensive. you can really nice next to new clothes at the thrift stores and yard sales and really save big on fabric.
