OMG!!! That is a lot of money, but if you love it, I could see spending the money. I do BOMs all the time and I figured that I pay around $300-400 for the top. One that I'm doing is a total rip off. I get like 1/2 yard of fabric all together each month and am charged $25. I think I will investigate more thoroughly next time I want to do a BOM. I've done some that I get quite a bit of fabric and feel good about the $$. But this one I feel I am being taken to the cleaners.
