Fabric prices don't bother me too much. I guess that I'm a quilter like my Grandma taught me to be. My Grandma (b.1911 d. 2001) made beautiful quilts. Many of my fabrics come from yard sales, thrift stores, & old clothes, much like my Grandma's did. I'm not much of an artsy quilter, I like utility. Usually the only fabric I buy at the store is muslin.
