I have been called a "Fabric Snob" because I won't use anything but quality fabrics. I look at it this way, if I'm going to put this much work in a quilt that I make, I want it to last for many years to come. While my great great grandchildren are cuddling under one of my quilts, those made from lesser quality fabrics have already dry rotted away! I believe in QUALITY not quanity when it comes to quilts.
