If you are buying fabric from Joann's, there is only about 7-8 yards per bolt. I have bought a few bolts from them and there never is more than that on there.

Oh, people like that drive me crazy! We had a teacher come in and teach a class & 99% of the people thought she was horrible because she insisted everyone use her color way. Just think of how boring it would be if we all used the same patterns and the same colors. Bleh!
