For me its not neccessarliy the price , it more is it the best choice for my quilt... it does not matter blender or focus. If I see a fabric that will "go"perfectly I really don't go looking for a cheaper option while picking out the fabrics for a project. SO if there are several blenders that may"go" ... the last consideration is if it is .75 more per yard.... because in the long run... if I am buying 2 or 3 yards of something the $1.50 -$2.25 is not going to sway me from my best choice. I would always be thinking there was a better choice , and regret Ihad not spent extra $1.50 -$2.25 .
