I agree with renee765. I dearly love to quilt but can't afford the higher fabric prices. I still quilt and I buy the best fabric I can afford. The recipients of these quilts love them regardless of the cheaper fabric used in them. My quilts are used and that's what's important to me. I wouldn't want to spend the time and money on one that wasn't. I shop wal mart, Joanne's and Hancocks. I buy what I want and where the price is right.
