Here in the UK prices vary greatly. We have a store 50 miles away who sell most of their fabric for around £5.00 per metre and also several good market stalls in various locations who sell for the same price. Our quilt stores are much more expensive ranging from £10 per metre to £20 per metre. I presume the cheaper fabrics are older designs but the quality is good. Purchasing by post can be very expensive here. By the way, love this board and all the very useful information and tips I have picked up. Anne
