Quilt shops is $9.49 and up in both TX and PA. I have a Surplus City store where I spend my summers. It is not a chain store so if you have one near you it may not be the same. This is a privately owned store. Anyway, they sell discontinued quilt fabric or first run quilt fabric at $3.49-$4.99. I just bought some a few days ago. Fabric by Michael Miller & Thimbleberries. Purchased 6 yards for $21! They don't have a great variety but can ALWAYS find something...at those prices who couldn't?
