You can buy fabric here on the Board from members. You can buy it on eBay auctions. You can find it on craigslist. Be careful to calculate in the price of postage, so you will know you are getting a good deal. Thrift and secondhand stores have it, or you can buy good condition clothing to cut apart. I always check at Goodwill and Volunteers of America when they have a 1/2 off sale day for 100% cotton sheets. The batting is expensive too, and I've used blankets from thrift stores (purchased for $1 - $4) instead of manufactured quilt batting, and liked the result. If you join your local quilt guild, you may be able to trade fabrics you have with other members to get a better variety of prints or colors. Sometimes they have 'games' or 'raffles' and you might be the lucky winner of fabric. If you only want to sew 'modern designer' type prints, then usually you'll have to pay the big price for it. I like a mix of found fabric, old fabric, re-purposed fabric, and modern. Some quilt stores offer 'grab bags' where you buy a bag for a low price not knowing what is in it. I've got some very nice modern fat quarters that way. Also, there is often a sale table at quilt stores where you can find something you like for $4 - $5 a yard.
DresiArnaz, :-) Love your post. I forgot, yeah, I've bought the duvet covers too. For one price you get two sides.
