If I'm going to make charity quilts, I'll decide where I get the fabric from. It won't be expensive LQS fabrics either. Probably from my stash that I started a lot of years ago when fabric was $2 a yard! Or I will find some "charity" fabrics at a thrift store or on freecycle. I don't want the quilts to look cheap either, but get real - $7 and $10 a yard doesn't make a very big quilt and it certainly isn't for giving away unless you are wealthy.
