I try to purchase fabric that isn't the latest out there. Almost everything I get is on the discontinued table at 50+% off. When I find what I like will by a minimum of 4 yards and go from there. The last sale (one day only) I found fabric at a $1.00 a yard. Bought over $200 worth and normal price was $11.00 a yard. It is really beautiful and can't wait to put stuff together to make my quilts.
