The highest I've paid for a yard of fabric is $10,and that was for a quilt for my FIL,if he knew how much money was in that quilt he would be afraid to use it,so the price stays between me and hubby.That being said I usually try to stay below $5 a yard then I don't have to feel too guilty about the huge stash that has made me take the sewing machine out of the sewing room so that I can actually sew.I've been very lucky finding good deals at yard sales and second hand stores also.
