Default $13 a yard????

Wow. Is that what everyone pays?

I had occasion to go to the closest LQS yesterday. I was pretty excited to actually shop in a real store and feel the fabric.

But I was quickly knocked down to size. Everything was priced about $13 a yard. That's a lot of money for a bed size quilt. I was interested in making myself a queen sized Dresden Plate quilt. Total of 30 yards front and back. That's $390.

How do you all justify spending that much? Especially for donation quilts.

Also, this particular store must be trending towards mod quilts. The majority of the store was batiks and brights. What about the reproduction crowd. or just some tasteful small prints?
