My plan is to continue to add to my stash of yardage as well as kits when I find good deals because pretty soon we'll have to take out a loan to make a lap-sized quilt!!

Are you sure those weren't the wide 108 inch backing fabrics? I was in my local Hancock's yesterday and didn't see anything that high except for the backings.

Do you have a friend up here in Phoenix? One of our LQS's has plenty of 40% off coupons for one cut of material - 1 per day per person. Fortunately it has the largest selection of quilting fabric in the state too. [more than that trailer down south of you.]

I can't imagine not quilting because of fabric prices but I can tell you that I am getting pickier about who gets the quilts I make.
