Well, in my area, I'm paying $16/m for average quality, $19-$22/m for good quality. I'm in Canada. I do most of my shopping online from the states and pay half that...INCLUDING shipping, duties, taxes, etc. If you can offer similar prices to what I pay in the US, I will very likely become a "frequent flier" at your online shop!

Our LQS is between 8-10 a yard. Good quality fabric. If I am putting that much work into a quilt I will pay the money for good fabric. Have had good luck at Joannes too with coupons.

None of My LQS are below $10.00 per yard now. There may be an odd bolt below that but it's only because they missed it when they were increasing the prices. Some are now at $11.50. Batik with matellic are the highest priced.
The price increases has hit battings as well.

the one LQS by me is around $11-15 a yard at the most expensive one, and $9-11 for the cheaper ones.
I buy online often because I can't see myself paying that much in a place I'm not comfortable in.

I've been shopping my stash and it's working. Hope to never have to buy another yard of fabric again. I work slowly, finishing one quilt before starting another and that helps greatly in controling any spending. Prices are horrendous ............ and not just fabric!
