Well... in terms of supply and demand driving prices... I don't really think a boycott of quilting fabric is going to accomplish much.
I would guess that a whole lot more cotton goes into the manufacturer of T-shirts than quilt fabric. And while only a few folks have an overabundance of fabric, there are probably LOTS of people who have too many T-shirts in their closets.
After all, who're you going to boycott? Those fabric manufacturers who raised their prices again? No, you'd actually boycott a fabric store (or stores). And it's not the store(s) who
started the price increases.
I suppose if we can't give up fabric buying, we could all postpone buying new towels, sheets, and underwear for a year.

Anybody up for darning socks?
