My LQS recently started offering 20% off backing fabric (which is their usual high quality fabrics)on the 15th of each month if you bring in a completed quilt top. I had suggested they do this as another shop I go to up north does that. I have bought twice at these sales. I got the best quality fabric for much less than usual. I will continue to do this for the special quilts but I have used muslin, sheets, and extra fabric for many quilts. I am doing a string quilt now with fleece backing that I got from the remnant bin at JoAnn. It will be a "cuddle" quilt.
