Fabric $5 a yard x 12 yards= $60
Thread = $10 (high est, but I use sulky)
Batting = $20 (queen packaged warm & natural)
Total materials only= $100 ( with tax)
Our time to piece, quilt and add love = PRICELESS
I average around that too. I try to keep the cost around $60, but sometimes it's around $100.
And yes, our time is priceless!
