...I cringe at the thought of paying more than $5 per yd.
I wouldn’t mind seeing a little more $5/yd fabric myself.
Lately, the wholesale cost for quality quilting cotton fabric has been running us $5.25-$5.55 per yard. And we have to buy a 12 to 15 yard bolt, usually with a 2-bolt minimum order, to get it at that cost per yard. Most times, we have to pay freight and a fuel surcharge on top of that to get it to us.
