Buying Tip: When shopping for fabric, check to see if there is more than one bolt of the desired fabric...the old bolt will have a lower price than the new bolt of the same fabric. This first happened to me recently and the store gave me all I wanted at the lower price, even if additional yardage came from the new bolt. It is worth checking to save a few $$.

I had the same shock as you did. I went to buy some backing fabric for a quilt top and saw the prices and decided to piece the back with leftover fabric. Good thing I have a large stash.
I know we should support our local quilt stores, but at those prices I am not sure I can.

Some of the most beautiful quilts you see were made in the depression era. People used whatever was available for quilts----feed sacks, old clothes, etc. One of the most beautiful rugs I have ever seen was made out of twine that was used to tie tobacco. We came from a generation of inventive people, so I'm sure we'll survive this and come up with some awesome quilts.
