I would be shocked to know what I spend of quilting. I do have a stash of fabrics and I still buy more to make a two color quilt like the winners circle or double Irish chain I allow 6 yards of each fabric than use sheets for backing which I buy new at Walmart and sometimes find them on sale but usually spend from 12.00 to 15.00 dollars per quilt than I have a long arm quilter she charges from 35.00 to 40.00 dollars per quilt and furnishes the batting. So I usually figrue that I have 130.00 to 150.00 for a queen size quilt. I am grateful for the chance the make quilts they give me something to think about and plan and when I have finished I can give them away to someone that loves them and uses them.
