I talked to my LQS (local quilt shop) and they can order a bolt of Kona Indigo Blue for $95. I get 20% off and if they honor my local guild membership, I should get another 10% off on top of that. Thankfully they know me and will let me pay a little bit at a time. When I mentioned I needed a bolt of fabric for the background to hubby, I thought he was going to have an aneurism right then and there. (We need an icon of a smilie hiding under a chair!) According to him, there isn't a quilt out there that requires that much for background. Then he told me the king sized quilt I have on the guest bed only took about 6 yards of fabric to make. ...Um... ROFLMBO!!!! I tried to patiently explain it had more like 20 yards of fabric in it. All I got was a glare; at which time I retreated to my quilt room for some therapy.

i'm going to dwell on this one and think about which quilt as you go method i'd like to use. |

LMBO!!! Oh Sweety, how true! We just won't tell them that. Mostly because they might feel the same way about us. :lol:
