I agree with quilt Louise, I buy what I can afford and for me that means buying on line from USA. I have a friend who says we must support our LQS but with their price of $28 per metre it is way beyond my means. I make quilts because I love to, I love to give them away to charity, and let's face it the person or persons who receive my quilts are not going to turn a offer of a quilt away, just because I didn't spend BIG
Dollars at my local quilt shop
