And then people question why it costs so much to make a quilt????
Geesh!!!
Too late now, Watson, but did you check out Len's? They often have widebacks that are much more affordable than the LQS' and often the same fabrics!
The irony is that to buy the same square yardage in regular 40" width,
it would have cost you well over $160.
(about 8.1 yards @ $20 plus, calculated just on square yardage,
without any allowance for seams, pattern matches, etc.)
When available, I compare the two and will buy the wideback, and save the money, even if only the regular width is needed. Unfortunately, that option often is not available and when it is, we need to check that the quality is the same.
