But, if it's like Kona white or a nice black, I would buy a bolt, but never for anything else. So, why buy bolts of fabric? Making the same quilt for all your kids or grandkids?
I had customers who would buy the bolt to make accessories for a room...curtains, pillows, etc. Some would buy it to be able to make backing and outer borders to match. 9 yards for a back and 3 for the outer borders, and you have nearly used a whole bolt! LOL
