I'd get rolls of a good quality black fabric-like Kona and a cream/beigey for applique and a several yards or (a roll if possible) of those nice multi-shade fabrics- batik like in my favorite colors.
A roll of batting, and a roll of 90" wide backing fabric in a nice multi-color active design so my quiting isn't as noticeable.

I never use solids, so that wouldn't be it. Have most of the notions that I want...
For that amount of money wholesale, could I get any sewing furniture? I don't really know. If not, I'd go with batting and try to figure out where to put it. Normally I buy it 8 or 10 yds at a time when it's 50% off @ Joanns.

Wholesale - $200 will go a long way. There are some warehouses that sell "seconds" for $1 a yard. These are fabrics that may have one spot on the selvage area halfway through the bolt. If you can do so, wait until the week AFTER the Houston show. That's when the discontinued fabrics go on sale big time.

I would get batting first. Then a piece of fabric that lights my fire (at least 3 yards). I like blenders -- as opposed to solids - so I would try for moda marbles and the like.
I would give your friend a big hug (and maybe make a special quilt) for giving you such a great opportunity.

I love to buy at 50% retail or less or wholesale and often do.
Right now I think I would add to my thread collection for embroidery, quilting, and sewing.
I have plenty of fabric right now ..... actually 4 bookshelves with 5 shelves each on them and full to the brim and still have some laying around because I ran out of space to put on the shelves.
I already have a roll of 25 or is it 40 yards of heat n bond....as well as a roll or warm n natural 45" wide and 40 yards of it.... and have enough threads but not all I want. I am lacking in that area compared to what else I have.
