Went into town today, and decided to check out a new quilt shop. There were a few bolts at $10, but the quality was not great. The rest of the fabric was at least $25 per metre. The FQ's were $7 EACH, and fat eighths were $3.50. Looks like they charge 75¢ for cutting a FQ. Total rip off.
The notions area was nothing to write home about either. Couldn't find one thing I was looking for. I ended up buying 2 batik FQ's, but I won't be going back again that is for sure. And they wonder why people buy on-line from the US.
