We have a great quilt shop in Hillman, MI, where all of the cotton quilting fabric is $9.99/yd. I believe that batiks are a bit more, but not much, and wide backs are also a bit more. Another shop in the area charges an average of $11.50/yd. Over the course of a year that buck fifty a yard makes a huge monetary difference!! And the Hillman shop offers all highest quality, beautiful fabric by leading manufacturers and designers. I love shopping there.
