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!

Which is exactly the reason I have yet to get my sofa and chair re-covered! Someday. . . Maybe. . .

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.
