not in my price range. I visited a high-end fabric shop here in MI (Haberman Fabrics in Royal Oak) and their cottons were going for around $40 / yard....that was about 5 years ago. Didn't look or feel any different than the LQS.
What's the most I'd pay? The highest I've paid was $14 / yard only because it was out of print and I really needed it for a specific themed quilt. On a daily basis, I think $11 is my limit.
