It's so hard when shopping for a much anticipated and loved little one! I've had the same problem shopping for grandkids. I couldn't even make all of the quilts for them that I purchased fabric for, it would have been way too much! I try to never total up my costs like you did, you're a brave woman I'm going to start making donation quilts with the baby fabric. The youngest is now almost three and is into trucks and Spiderman and oh yes, I have found really cute Spidey and construction fabric. Here we go again!

Good quality thread such as King Tut does add to the cost of making a quilt, but like you said, you can use them for other quilts. One way to look at it...grocery shopping is same especially if you don't use a list or stick to it .

And I thought 84.17 was bad for two baby quilts. Not counting the fabric, thread and batting I already had. I did a simple warm wishes type. The both turned out great but had not planned on spending that much. On the plus side (at least I think it is a plus) there was only a few small scraps left. They will be used on other projects that are ongoing. Please post pictures if you can. I have not learned to do that yet. (I'm bad)
