I know!! I found out a few years ago while in Europe how much they pay for cotton fabric! I only allowed myself one meter and it was medium priced at $38.00 american a meter. And this wasn't in a tourist area, it was just a small fabric store. The only place it was more reasonable ( but still high ) was at the local outdoor markets. What we would call a flee market or weekly farmers market.

Jacquie,
These are what I've pulled from my stash. A couple aren't full fat quarters, but enough to use for applique projects. I would like to add a couple more FQ's but won't be able to get them for a few days. ( I have some in mind. ) Do you mind waiting a little longer so I can add them, or should I just send what I have here?
