:roll: I know what you are talking about. I need to make 3 baby quilts for girls. I went to JoAnn's and shopped very carefully. I was shocked when the girl rang it all up. I watch carefully what fabrics I buy. There is no reason for quilt shops charging the $10 to $12 a yard.
I am so very lucky. Over the past 2 to 3 years I have found patterns that I liked and bought the fabric. I came home, placed the pattern on top of the fabric and tied into a bundle.
I have these stored in my stash and have enough for about 24 quilts. Backing being the only thing that is missing. So I guess I am lucky that I did this (hubby didn't think so at the time-ha).
I guess we just have to take the lumps and go on. I wanted some yellow squash recently and it was $2.48 a pound at Wal-Mart and believe me, I wanted it but passed it up. I am now picking about 5 pounds a day from my garden so I have all I want. ha Wal-Mart can keep theirs.
Thanks for listening. Mrs. I
