Not to complain although it really looks like I am. Fabric here in Canada in some quilt shops is 16.99 and I even noticed some at 17.99. If I were you, I would buy what I could to bring back home. It is strange in the dollar stores that products from the far east are so reasonable, how come fabric is so marked up in U.S. and Canada. Too many hands on it before we buy?
