We are fortunate in our area to have a Fabric shop (not a quilt shop) that has just about every type of fabric you can imagine. Fleece, silks, satins, lace and all trims, quilting fabric, backing up to 120" wide, batting, minkie, upholstery fabric. I believe the store is about 40 ft x 125 ft in size. On Tuesdays they have senior citizen days and you get 10% off. It is called Wilson Fabrics and I just love to go there. Their prices range from $2.99 a yard for flat folds and discontinued fabrics up to $11.99 for some collegiate fabrics ($14.99 for 60" wide). Average is about $6.99 to $8.99 per yard. That is the only way I can afford fabric for quilting. I think $39 for a layer cake. For that price I think I would cut my own.
