At that price, I'd have to get the $10 sample, frame it, and hang it over my fireplace......

Not happening for me when there is sooooooooooooo much other fabric I could get for the money-make up your own on muslin and call it a day

The most I ever paid was $30 for a yard of rare Snoopy/Peanuts fabric panel where they are dressed as Pilgrims.

thank you.....perfect response for sure....I have seen prices like on French sheers and that was in the 1980's!

Actually I don't think I would want that fabric at any price--not even a couple dollars a yard...only to be used, maybe as backing for charity quilts (I thought it quite "not attractive).

But your question was "what's the most you'd pay". I have paid almost $10 for one fat quarter from ebay of a special Israeli fabric that I wanted to put into my daughter's memory quilt (I make each child a memory quilt to take to college and she had a been on a dig in Israel so I wanted some fabric with Hebrew writing on it.)

Blush blush.
