We're making a Cutting mat tote at our next quilt guild meeting. I need 2 yards of doublesided pre-quilted fabric. Does anyone know of a good online store where I can buy some that isn't outrageously priced?

Thanks.

Sorry no help with a store, but when we make our little quilted lug-a-mugs I just took some fabrics that coordinated well & some batting and quilted a grid and then used it, maybe you have something in your stash?

Try here: http://www.cottonpatchfabrics.com/

They only have one in tan, but it is only $8.55/yd. That is the cheapest I found.

Now our WalMart has some also. Don't know what they are asking for theirs but I could check on the way home from work tonight if you want. Then I could send it to you.

i get mine at Joanns... :D

I sent you a PM...

hancock of paducah typically carries some but i don't remember the prices.

I get mine at my fabric store but have to wait til it's on sale. It is so expensive.

they have some at craft connection for around $13 a yard.

if you have the time you could just make your own.

Here is a site that tell you how to make your own

I got mine at Hancock Fabrics and with their coupon it was reasonable.
They are online too.

They only have white, red and parchment

Here's some more. These are a bit pricey though.

I went to the site that Ruth Camp put up and it is a great site, I had to play with the address to get on it.

Thank you Ruth, it is a great site.

Here is the whole address to get on that tells how to make your own quilted fabric.

hancock fabrics should have that.

Thank you for the link to make prequilted fabric.

The link was very good. I would think it would be beneficial to make your own, then your fabric would be what you want it to be...

Are you anywhere near the Lancaster PA area? Zook's Fabrics has some and the best selection -- lots of wonderful prints -- is in a shop along Rte 40 in Bird-In-Hand. About $10/yard and the variety is amazing. I recently purchased 1/2 yard of cowboy print/Navajo-type print for $5 and it's now one of my favorite (and quick to make) tote bags.

If you have a Joanns near you they have it , at least here they do

Our Jo-ann's has it for $18.99 per yard - can you believe that?

I bought a plaid and a solid, sandwiched it and practiced meandering!

Then turned it into a tote. Works for me!

Hancock carries it.

Thank you for the address to mqke my own quilted fabric. I am looking to make a small purse to hang from a walker. Any ideas?

Joanns carries both kinds cotton and flannel. Ive only found flannel once in a while.
My granddaughter loves her flannel quilt and has worn it out.

For what it's worth- I've never seen pre-quilted fabric that was good quality. I had some that a customer bought for me to make a backpack. It was so flimsy that I had to use a double layer. I much prefer to quilt my own. For a tote bag, I think you would want sturdy fabric.

Always use a 40% off at Joanns as it is so expensive

I enjoy making my own quilted fabric. Then you can be assured that no one else will have the same fabric as yours.
It is timely to make but well worth the effort.

please post the directions when you get them, I have been wanting to make one, but couldn't come up with a pattern that I liked.

I agree. If you don't have a nice affordable source nearby then make your own. It's a great stash buster. You don't have to quilt using a grid but can do a serpentine style grid or other simple design and make it yours. You might even make one or two for friends.
