why not try to order it online from them; you can use coupons to cut cost and sometimes they have free shipping.
Or ask them to do a special order at your local Joanns. You can still use the coupon, and they order 2 bolts (or whatever you need) so you're not trying to piece it together.

30 yards for the back ground fabric....seems a big high, even for a king size.
I have done the math about 3 times and it still comes out to about 26 or 27 and I added some for shrinkage and finishing the edges.

Thanks, I just ordered 10 from Jo Anns on line and will keep checking and ordering until I get enough. Ten will keep me busy for a while shrinking, pressing and cutting.
