Earlier this spring I was 'donated' the stash of a hoarder. She was my sister's ex-MIL, had a stroke and was placed in a nursing home. Her kids were clearing out her home and were going to BURN this beautiful fabric! It was 5 or 6 huge boxes of cotton fabric, all new and most still with the price tags still on. At least 100 yeard. I had collected fabric of my own for years, got my Mom's when she died and now I have fabric enough to last for a long while. Most of my quilt cost batting and that is it. I tend to make my own patterns from pictures I see or make them as I go. I have NEVER spent over $20 on any quilt I have made. I have over 15 full / queen quilts ready to quilt, 8 baby quilts finished and 5 more to quilt.
