just think, with the new prices of fabric, soon a queen size quilt will cost $800-$1,000.00 with minimal quilting on it!
Pattern makers like Judy Neimeyer will have to make more table runner patterns. I just priced the fabric to make the Celtic star(the 90" version), and even on sale just the fabric for the top came to $300, then there is backing, binding, thread, batting, the countless hours to make it and paying for quilting!
For a grand, I think I will have to pass on it!
