Not sure where you are at Susie, but here we have an outlet store called Mill End Textiles. They have a huge selection of cottons and flannels, not to mention every other type of fabric, they're cheap and they give you coupons besides. I think the most expensive quilting fabric they carry is like 6/yd! Add a 60% off coupon to that and it makes quilting really affordable! Maybe you can google and see if there is something similar in your area?
