I'm taking a Hunter's Star block quilt from a LQS and the cost of the class was $25. For just a lap quilt, the blue solid fabric was $5 yard and I have yards and yards of white, so I only need 2 7/8 yard of each color so it all just cost me right now $40. I'm not including the white since I already have it. BUT I have to drive 2 1/2 hours to the class and I get 14 MPG, so that's where my money goes. I really wanted to take this class and am willing to drive and pay for it. I really have to drive 1 1/2 to 3 hours to get to a good quilt shop. The one 1/2 hour away has a poor selection of fabric. I think she is going out of business. Nothing matches. Just leftover fabrics from fabric lines. So I have to do the driving or buy online, which I do, but I prefer to see the fabric in person. Makes a big difference!!!
