That computes to $30.80. Then you factor in the convenience factor of the fabrics being pre cut for you and you are getting at minimum 1 square of each fabric of a collection. Jelly rolls run from $30 to $45 in my neck of the woods. Usually the solid Jelly Rolls are a little less than $30.

Charm packs run about $9.50 apiece. A Layer Cake is equal to 4 charm packs. Comes out to $38 for 4 individual charm packs. Layer cakes run about $40.
