I am currently making a quilt for my DS and so far the top has cost me 2.00 for a yard of white at Walmart and a spool of thread that cost 3.50. The rest is denim cut from my and my DH's jeans. Last year I bought several kits that I have not even started yet those are for when I cant afford to buy fabric. We are not cheap just being real in a tuff world that we all are living in today. To the people who can afford to buy LQS fabrics, lucky you, but to the people who do what they can with wehat they can find, I salute you.
