We need to recognize that most quilters are versitile. What is too thin for a good quilt may be perfect for summer clothes for children and grandchildren. Thin material can be backed by wonder under for great appliques. If if the pattern is something you love, make placemats as someone has mentioned. If this is what you want or need to spend, then go ahead and buy - you can make some beautiful, long lasting guilted things if you are willing to be creative and think outside the box. Just don't recommend that everyone disregard what you personally can afford to pass over.
