I'd love to pay just $12.99 a yard! In the UK I paid more than £10 ($16.49) last year and here in France I have seen good fabric at 18€ ($24.62). We don't have the number of fabric stores so I have to rely on shopping online from the States. As for batting, I have yet to find anything other than coarse poly. or very thin cardboard-like poly. here so sadly no prolific quilting for me.
