Just because it says "quilt shop quality" it does not necessarily the case. Most times it is but often it isn't.
Prices are going up on all fabrics and now we see $2 to $3 for fat quarters in Batik and that is the lower quality of batik fabric.
I love batiks and for the right ones I will pay $12 a yard if I have to but will think hard on paying more than that unless it's a really nice quality brand name one that I just have to have that design than I would consider paying more.
