you guys are cute... all upset over $12 /yd. I'm in Canada its near impossible to find anything under $15CAD/meter. and Warm and Natural is the same way, its a lot more here. I know that I actually quilted for someone recently and the LQS owner told her that since she was trying to save money to use a polar fleece instead of a batting. It quilted up just as nicely and it goes on sale more often.
