I tell my daughters do not purchase fabric, just come to my house and take what you want. I love fabric and yes, it makes me happy knowing I have a lot of it and purchased at reasonable prices over the last eight years.
I have quality quilt fabrics now selling for $12 or more per yard, that I paid less than $6.
Can I ask why 3 yards? I'm new to quilting and stash building. Are 3 yards typical to what a pattern asks for?
