I must admit, a few months ago, I would have thought paying more than $100 or so for a quilt was crazy. That's because I'd never shopped for good-quality fabric. Or batting. Or anything else. I just had no idea how much the materials cost, let alone the cost of labor.
Even now, as I dip my foot into this craft, I keep getting sticker shock. I've been scouring thrift stores and my linen closet for useable fabrics, because I just can't afford to buy everything new.
