Choosing between quilting fabrics & thread often comes down to control versus creative variety. A fixed bundle of fat quarters is easier to plan around, while a large assortment of scraps can broaden a fabric stash but makes the exact mix less predictable. These two cotton choices serve different quilting workflows, so the right pick depends on whether your next project needs consistent pieces or varied remnants.
Quick verdict
Choose the 20 Fat Quarters Bundle for a more defined starting point: it contains 20 cotton fat quarters in a consistent listed format, with mixed patterns and colors. Choose the 5+ LBS Cotton Fabric Scraps Remnants Quilting Sewing Crafts Suprise Box 100 for a larger assortment of scraps, strips, squares, rectangles, and remnants. The listed-price gap is $10.54, with the fat-quarter bundle at USD 24.95 and the scraps box at USD 35.49.

Product notes
20 Fat Quarters Bundle
The 20 Fat Quarters Bundle is the more structured choice for a quilter who wants cotton pieces in a repeatable fat-quarter format. Its listed 100% cotton fiber content, medium fabric weight, and mixed patterns and colors suit quilting and general craft projects without requiring an initial sorting process based on piece shape. The main limitation is that the set's visual direction is mixed: camping, Christmas, sunflowers, and paw prints are named among the designs, so the palette and theme may need to be coordinated during project planning. The bundle is also described as new and not handmade, which keeps its identity clear but does not promise a single unified print collection.
5+ LBS Cotton Fabric Scraps Remnants Box
The 5+ LBS Cotton Fabric Scraps Remnants Quilting Sewing Crafts Suprise Box 100 makes sense for quilters who enjoy sorting fabric and building projects from an assortment. It lists 100% cotton, medium-weight material and includes pieces such as strips, squares, rectangles, irregular cuts, and larger remnants, making the format useful for patchwork and crafts with varied cutting needs. The limitation is intentional unpredictability: it is a true variety or mystery box, every box is different, and no individual piece is larger than 1 yard. That makes the assortment less defined for a project requiring a particular cut size or a tightly controlled fabric selection.
Final choice by use case
- For a planned quilt built around consistent cuts: Pick the 20 Fat Quarters Bundle, because its 20 fat quarters share a defined listed format.
- For scrap quilting, appliqué-style craft work, or stash building: Pick the 5+ LBS Cotton Fabric Scraps Remnants Quilting Sewing Crafts Suprise Box 100, because its assortment includes multiple piece shapes and print types.
- For a lower listed price and less initial sorting: The 20 Fat Quarters Bundle is the clearer fit at USD 24.95.
- For the widest listed assortment of remnant formats: The 5+ LBS Cotton Fabric Scraps Remnants Quilting Sewing Crafts Suprise Box 100 offers the more varied starting point.
