    As someone who deals with the cotton industry, I can tell you cotton prices have gone up like 124% in the last 3 months so it's not the stores fault, it's the mills charging more.

    Sassy, Thanks. I just looked at Eleanor Burns site and couldn't help myself. I bought enough fabric for two quilt backings, 1 yard of baby fabric, plus batting for one quilt. All this for under $40, including shipping. That web site is a keeper.

    Shoofly,

    You are so very welcome! :thumbup: I spent a bit more than you (45 yards :wink: ), but I'm trying to build up my blenders so I can try some of Ricky Tims' Convergence Quilts. Nice to see decent prices and knowing that they are going to continue to go up, so I'm getting as much as I can now.

    In England we have been payig between £8 and £10 a yard for years, thats why I shop at Fabric Shack on line, even with the postage it is loads cheaper. I get a couple of lots a year with no postage when my friend visits. :-)

    Looked at Moda over here a couple of months ago - it was $34.95 per metre. It stayed there.
