I was talking to one of the gals that works at Joann's last week about the cost of fabric going up because of the rising cotton prices. She told me that BATTING prices will be rising too in the next few weeks. I've also noticed at Joann's that a lot of their fabrics are on sale every week like $1-2 off per yard, 30% off, etc so you can't use one of their coupons on it. Hobby Lobby has done this for quite awhile. Usually everything in their fabric department is 30% off each week except seasonal.
