Actually $9.99 a yard isn't bad for a quilt shop! It's up to $12 a yard in our area. I shop the clearance sections. Shoot, I've even seen fabric for $14 a yard at JoAnn's! Now that is ridiculous.
However, our predecessors did not waltz into a quilt shop and pick out a selection of coordinated fabrics for their quilts. They scrounged and saved the good parts of their worn out clothes to make their quilts. Many of us are as frugal today.
