Like loopywren fabric here is expensive around $24 per meter. Only certain shops have it for $13. that is my LQS Bargain Box and the Spotlight stores, at the moment spotlight have it for $10 but soon it will go up too. I do like getting a little more than I need to cover shrinkage etc and the extra is good for applique or tiny baby quilts for premmie babies at the hospitals.
