Maybe I should rephrase my question. I'm not looking for low quality fabric. I'm looking for lower prices on good quality fabric. Everybody loves a good sale. Although, I have to admit that I have put some questionable, antique and vintage fabrics in my past quilts that held up well with every day use. I just depends.

I think you're in the wrong century to find fabric 2-3 bucks a yard! I've been quilting since the 80's and I don't think it was that cheap even back then.

Marshall dry goods now has a sale on 30# box of selected fabrics that they say works out to $1.25 per yard. It came in an email this morning. I've never participated in this type of sale, so I'm not advocating buying it. I'm just passing it on.

Oh...not so! I just bought some calicos for $1.95/yd at MDG (plus shipping.) Even with shipping it comes out to only about $2.75/yd. I also used to haunt another store that just a couple of years ago, regularly had clearance items for $2.99/yd, but they don't offer it that cheap any more. I just checked their site and they do have one for $3.96/yd. These are all top quality cottons.

I'd like to hear about more recycled fabric sources too. I know of one place down in the silicon valley that offers free fabric to crafters, once a month, by appointment only, but I've never been there. I think that they have mostly home design fabrics.

I know that many of you are on a fabric moratorium, but I've been using from my old stash for years now, so I've been doing some buying lately. It's time to recharge the stash.

Wow! What is MDG?
