What a Deal

| backing fabric (56 yards) for fourteen QOV January 2023 |
Every Quilt of Valor I make requires at least four yards of backing fabric. I try to keep the QOV that I make about the same size, so I don't need to make a special purchase when a backing is needed.
Near the end of January my backing stash was depleted which required restocking. I found a fabulous online sale at JoAnn Fabrics. The twenty-eight yards of the fabric I purchased there was $3 a yard: it was previously marked $12 a yard. The other lengths of fabric and the two panels were purchased at Quilted Twins for $5.99 a yard. Overall, I now have enough fabric to back fourteen Quilts of Valor, and I paid an average of $4.50 a yard.
I'm thrilled to have found such a great deal.
Great savings and pretty fabric
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Nancy! Those fabrics all look great. I especially like the 6th one from the top, although it's hard to know for sure with them all folded so neatly. :-) That is such a great deal for the backing fabric. The cost of fabric is one of the reasons I never really let myself get pulled into the quilting world. The queen size one I made for our bed was over $200 just for the fabric. Whoa Nellie! This will be enough to keep you busy for awhile won't it?

A super deal on the fabrics! Good find!
ReplyDeleteGreat score! These fabrics will be in a quilt in no time!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great deal. Backing fabric is so expensive. It's even harder to find patterns that work with the top but it looked like you really hit the jackpot.
ReplyDeleteYou are a shopper extraordinaire. I’m tickled with my widebacks at less than $12 a yard. I’ve got three quilts ready to finish. Hopefully I can get to them next week.
ReplyDeleteWhat a deal!! Looks like you picked out some very pretty fabrics too.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great deal indeed.You would be goggle eyed by the proce we pay for quilting fabrics here.
ReplyDeleteStrong work. I remember when most quilting fabric was $4.99 a yard. If you had the fabric shipped to you that's even better.
ReplyDeleteWhat a good buy!
ReplyDeleteI love sales like that! I always have backings in mind when I see fabric on sale.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a great deal you got. It sure is nice to find those deals when you really need it.
