My life is so exciting that for fun I often put together a shopping cart on fabric.com. Last night I couldn't sleep so went back for another look and you were all so right about the $2.44 prices. I added some more and then ruthlessly weeded out what I really liked and ended up with 4 backings. Two were 6 yard pieces and 2 were 5 yards. One piece was $4.60/yd. I was amazed...22 yards of fabric for less than $65, and the best part is I really LIKE them, lol.
In reading QB this morning, another couple that I missed are popping up. I just may have to get 3 more pieces (for free shipping) now. :-)
