3 meters of white cotton with gold dots, 2 meter blue cotton with silver dots and 1 meter( or possibly 1,5 or 2 = this is not yet counted in the price i m saying))), it will cost me just approx 300 nok which is 47 dollars

(((((( http://coinmill.com/NOK_USD.html#NOK=300 )))))

it is pr meter 7.84 (50 nok) which is less than it normally is a meter.
Normally for plane coloured cotton its atleast 80 nok = 12.54 // 100 nok=15.67


soooooooooooooooooo am i really stupid? :oops: :oops: :oops:

Nope, if you think you can use it, then go for it Sunny. Material is expensive here as well, so when I see something on the Web, I go crazy.

If the fabric speaks to you and you have the money then why not? That is enough to use as backing, and I find that I never have large enough pieces for backing.

I am, however, not qualified to answer the original question. See, I have a room full of fabric that all talked to me at one time or another. If any more speaks, I have to move. lol

click on where it says RESTEKROKEN

then u see it saying

SJATTERT ANTIKK HVIT M/GULLPRIKK


SJATTERT BLÅ M/SØLVPRIKK


SJATTERT RØD M/GULLPRIKK



i am slightly thinking getting 30 cm or 50 of this green but i am not very good at using green so am open to suggestions from you

SJATTERT GRØNN M/GULLPRIKK


Guess i gotta order before bed time now or at latest tomorrow

(ps, i m also getting hello kitty fabric but i know what to use that for,lol)

ofcourse if you think i should order less of the fabric i m open to that too.

i can even do my very best of taking sum photos of the fabric i hae in mind to use this with.

pattern wise i will do 5 ish quilts, sum rag quilts and sum combo of plane block and railway and or 9 pathches.

It sounds like a deal to me- if I am reading/understanding right. I pay up to $9 a yard around here where we have a very low cost of living. And fabric overseas is more costly from what I hear. Go for it! Especially if you love it.

Also, I was just at Joann's two days ago and I looked for that teal/green scrolly fabric that you liked from my brown and teal quilt, but they did not have any.

I think its hard to love a fabric from a photo, i guess thats why i m unsure but am i very wrong that if i change my mind or anything like that , i might be able to have it sold here???

If you can afford it, go for it - if you hate it when it arrives, you can sell it, or use it as backing. It won't go to waste.
