How do you back your charity quilts?
Have done charity quilts mostly for Project Linus for quite some time, and realize that most of us do baby or toddler ones to cut down on cost. But preteens and teenagers also need quilts in their size and I have been floored by the backing expense. The last two have taken 3 1/2yds for backing not counting binding. With the price of fabric going up and up it's costing $20 to $25 or more just for the backing. I've never been a garage sale person and I try to order from sites having a great sale, but then I have shipping costs to pay. At this rate I either have to stop making this size or cut back to maybe two a month. How do those of you that do charity quilts handle the cost of backing?
