Default Trying to keep costs down

I think we can all agree, quilting can be very expensive. When you factor in your Moda, Andover, Windom fabric for your front, then maybe 3 yards more for your background fabric. Now you need another 2 yards for your borders.

But not done yet. Now we got the back to do. i am one who just can't slap anything on the back of the quilt, as I feel that it can really detract from the overall quilt if you don't put a coordinating fabric that goes with your main fabric on front. So now we are looking at another 6-9 additional yards for your back.

Also we have the batting and thread and if your one of those folks who has to send their quilt out to a long armer, then your quilt could easily wind up costing a week's salary.

Where do you draw the line? Or is everyone on here just filthy rich! I hear people on here saying they made 12 quilts last year. and I don't think they are talking baby quilts. Like to hear your strategy.
