Yikes!!!
To think I was complaining about the cost of pecans and walnuts being in the 7 to 8$ US and when gasoline unleaded went up 2pennies to $2.38 a gallon. I don't think I will complain as much now. By the way what does a yard of good quality 100% cotton fabric costs there? Here is ranges from 7 to about 12$ a yard.

They don't grow here and we have to import them. Walnuts are more expensive but we use more of those since our recipes have used them for centuries.
Petrol (gasoline, unleaded) is dropping in price here just now it cost me £1.18 a litre last week. That works out at US$7.50 for a USA gallon.

And a scrappy quilt would be brilliant to use up so many bits and pieces that I don't have the heart to throw away.
