About the same in my area also. I do watch for FQ sale at Joann Fabrics. Sometimes I can get them 75 cents each! But I watch for fabric quality.

$3.00 for FQ is about right at our LQS too. I really feel it is better to buy a half yard and make your own FQ's. The fabric at our LQS is $11.00 to $13.00 a yard. I now dig in my stash or order on line and get a good deal - or if I really need a certain fabric I go shopping at the sale table that is $5.99 a yard and that is doable. You are right Tallchick-our quilting hobby is NOT cheap but I love it.

I never buy fat quarters, only yardage at Walmart or Hobby Lobby. For years I haven't needed any.

That's about the going rate. But, Fabric Warehouse here sometimes does a 3 for deal. Why did I buy 3 today? It was in the clearance drawer, It was the right theme and color and I like variety. If they had it on the bolt, I would have bought a half yard of each. I count myself lucky that I found 3 I had to have. I want to make the Happy Flower Quilt in 30's repro prints. So, went specifically for 30's repro prints. It was a steller day. I found plenty to add to the small bundle that I scored at the thrift store a few weeks ago.

Thank you for all of your comments! Some of the fabrics have gone up to $12.59 per yd, and I was considering raising the price on fat quarters at the store. But I will keep it right where it is. Thanks!

As much as I would love to shop at the LQS's, I can't afford it. I have a fabric warehouse locally that sells name brand (Robert Kauffman, Free Spirit, Moda, etc) for $4/yard. Minimum cut is 1/2 yard which is perfect for me. That makes FQ's of designer fabric $1 each. Fits my budget perfectly and I like having the variety.
