Have you thought about doing a QAYG (quilt as you go) That's all I do, as I don't like wrestling a king size quilt under my domestic machine. There are multiple ways to assemble them once each block or section is quilted. With or without sashing.
As for the price of fabric, I usually only shop online sales. Unless it is fabric that is, oh my gosh, I won't pay expensive prices. Same with the pre-cuts I buy - only on sale. And for background fabric, I buy a really good sale prices and usually buy a bolt or more of it at a time. I get emails from the places I usually buy fabric from, so automatically get emails on sales, instead of having to search. This goes for patterns as well. I wanted this pattern in a book that cost 35.00 plus shipping. I found the same book, new as well, on eBay for 12.95 and free shipping. You just have to take the time to look.
