Elisa, this is Shirley, your swap partner in Tn. Go to www.fabric.com I get so much from them @3.95 yd. all the time. They always have sale fabrics and free shipping with $50.00 orders. If you go there and what you see & like but not affordable then keep checking that web site every day because the fabric prices keep going down. Thats what I do all the time. They have very sweet 30's looking fabrics When you see what you want place it in the basket so you don't loose it, then keep checking the basket even 3-4 days later to see if the fabric has changed, then go back & do an update on what you want for a better price. Works everytime for me. They offer 1/2 yds. & jelly roll strips sometimes too and all the most high end fabric designers that sell everywhere else for 9.95 & up per yd. I got some adorable teddy bear flannel (double soft both sides) fabric for 5.94 yd. that would be 10.00 at high end fabric shops.
On point would be a better way for the SBS blocks since some are a little skimpy. P. points would look so cute.
Good luck,
Shirley
