LOL! Wandering thru the home dec department will sure give you an appreciation for quilting cotton prices! Denver Fabrics has a huge home dec and fashion fabric department and some of the prices are astonishing. |
Well, I personally love Ralph Lauren designs, however I buy my RL fabrics at thrift stores! A little washing and cutting and I'm ready to go. Also it is very hard for me to buy something that is not on sale! I keep looking at some beautiful hand dyes that are so expensive I don't even remember the price - $20 or $30 but I just can't justify that for the quits that I make. I really like my fabric outlet fabrics that go for $2.50 to $3.50 per yard. They may be a year old (or older) but they make me happy and I can buy a LOT.

oh my! I was looking for "romantic or French words" fabric and this is what I found. If you don't want to go to the link, it's $204.00 a yard. You read that right. I'm out. I'd spend $15 per yard for something I couldn't live without! Not much more.-----------for cotton that is. Now, if I were making a purse or pillow or such, I'd go higher for a small amount of fabric |
Not a chance would I pay that much for fabric. My limit is $12 and it must be something special for a special quilt. I have wa-a-a-a-a-ay to much in my stash that will do without expending large $$$ for fabrics. I absolutely understand why a quilt artist would spend more for an art quilt. That is whole different genre. I make quilts for daily use and to just be an outlet for my creativity.

not in my price range. I visited a high-end fabric shop here in MI (Haberman Fabrics in Royal Oak) and their cottons were going for around $40 / yard....that was about 5 years ago. Didn't look or feel any different than the LQS.
What's the most I'd pay? The highest I've paid was $14 / yard only because it was out of print and I really needed it for a specific themed quilt. On a daily basis, I think $11 is my limit. |
For upholstery fabric I have paid almost $100/yd for small amounts of something I really wanted. For quilting fabric I have a hard time wrapping my mind around anything over $10/yd. Sometimes if I want it badly I will just buy and look at the price after. I think I have paid $12/yd a couple of times recently but I barred myself from that store.

I paid 50.00 a yard for Ultra Suade, 3 yds and made a suit. For 3 days I didn't even look at I so shocked myself. The suit was beautiful.
