In the other thread with this title, we discussed the cost of making a quilt, but no one answered this question--that I noticed.
What are you all really spending on a quilt? Can some of you share what you are spending..and if you pull the fabric from your stash, it doesn't count as "free"--it counts at the price that you paid for the yardage--unless it is truly a scrap quilt of from your used clothing that you were going to throw away.
I think it might be an interesting experiment if some of us would actually keep track of 1. money spent/invested, and 2. hours spent on some of our quilts this year and then compile the information.
Does anyone have this information from your own data...and once again, unless someone else GAVE you the fabric saying that fabric from your stash is "free" isn't playing fair--it's what you paid for the fabric when you put it there--not market value now. :)
It would be an interesting study.
I want to order Gutterman's thread 100% cotton: I just need to know approx. how much to order to "quilt" a Queen-size top. Thanks for you help
