About time any cost of fabric: gave one of my first quilts to a 4 year old nephew for Xmas gift and DH said, "is that all? he needs something else." While I think he meant that a 4 year old wants toys rather than a quilt - I had to remind him just how much I spent at the LQS on that quilt. My nephew is now 6 and was impressed with a little bag I made his younger sister for her birthday - i.e. that I MADE it (his mother doesn't sew)- so he may get a couple of pillow cases this year.
