OK go to the website: Keepsakequilting.com
Go to the search and put in "Square or square fabric
I am not sure which one I did, but it came out with a bunch of the charms-5
inch, 10" square and some of the 2 1/2 strips.
That is not all that they have as I poked around and did find more. The
other is if you go to the different fabric name brands like Mota,
Thimbleberry etc, they have listings of them in there too. Also if you call them up,
they are good and patient to talk with. I was looking for some micro dot
material and they helped me out.
You can't imagine the store they have. They also have Yarn Works store
[the online one] right next to them
The phone number is on the website right on top!

I tried to go find them on the website you gave me - but i cannot find
anything on this site - is it just me? This site is just about unusable
for
me...sigh. If you have any suggestions for me to find these squares
there,
please let me know. Otherwise, I guess JoAnn's is where I will have to go
when I get the chance to go with my grand daughter. I do not use JAWS,
and
have to find things visually suing ZoomText blown up very large - so it
takes me forever to find thing on a site like this.
