OH, Fabric of course, although I would watch the $2.99/yard fabric and make sure that it is not 1st or 2nd runs. (1st or 2nd are what the mills run to test the pattern. The grey goods that they use are usually of lesser quality and not as tightly woven) Rule of thumb, if you can put your hand behind it and still see your hand.. put it back on the shelf!
All that considered, I still would have gone for the fabric, hope that was ok with the hubbie
