PurpleBecca, Where in Wisconsin are you visiting? We have a few really nice shops in my area of SW Wisconsin. Most of the LQS sell for about $9.50/yd or higher but we also have a Hancocks and Hobby Lobby that have beautiful fabric for a few dollars less and lots of sales.
I jsut buy yardage that goes with my fabrics or often is even used in the blocks of my quilt to cut my border from.
