Ihave been quilting for more than 40 years and have a huge stash. I would say over the years I have averaged out to at least $300 per bed quilt. I shop wherever I can find fabric. I purchase stuff on sale whenever possible. I took a friend on a tour of three different fabric shops a couple of weeks ago. She needs to make a quilt for a wedding present. I ended up spending $100. She didn't get anything and still hasn't made up her mind. I don't even have anything in particular in mind for the fabric and notions I purchased. I do make at least two Linus quilts a week or more. I often donate fabric, backing or batting to the quilt projects we are doing at the Senior Center. I purchased 4 yards of fabric to complete the top I am currently assembling for them last week. I got lucky it was on a final clearance sale for basically $3 a yard.
