Most of the time I use scraps or fabrics on sale. But last Fall I went ape when I decided to follow a pattern i liked. The top fabric was $96., batting $49, fabric for back 109" $40. and then took it to a long arm quilter, $102. for this 102 x 102 quilt. I love it and had hoped to sell it at al quilt show, but no one wanted to pay even for the material so I'll put it on our bed. I had plenty of admirers, but no one wanted to cough up the money to pay for it. It is beautiful, but the average person would much rather buy a quilt set made in China from Walmart, then pay for one made from scratch.
