I watch the sales on line and buy enough $3 a yrd fabric to do a couple of backings.
I collect fats when on sale at my local shop for 25 for $25. This is only once a yr after christmas but what a bargain.
Of course its Joanns 99 cent fats that I have the most of.
I buy batiks and marbles whenever I find them on sale. Cant go wrong with them.
