I made my first queen size quilt 27 years ago from bargain fabric. I am still using it today although it is pretty raggy around the edges, but hard to give up because i learned when my daughter was born and it has memories. It was what I lovingly call a quilt from hell though because one of the fabric choices shrunk every time the iron hit it even though I always launder first. Anyway, my opinion is that there is nothing wrong with bargain fabric but make sure they are worthy of your effort because it is a lot of work. I still buy bargain fabrics, but also $10+/yard and there is definitely a difference and the more expensive fabric are definitely worth it if you want something special.
