I prefer 100% cotton made fabrics, because cotton is easy to handle, mark, press and sew by hand.There is nothing better than a soft, fluffy quilt.Most people like cotton quilts as it extremely easy to maintain, they last for a long time, and are comfortable to use, whenever you want to use it.
In Malaysia 100% cotton fabric is quite expensive. I always use American Cotton that price range from RM28 - RM50 permeter (sometimes even more). Sometimes I have to wait for the store to having a sale to buy the Fabric.
Yesterday I went to a store specialized in quilt and they are having sales!!. The price is from 10% -30% less from the usual price. I bought about 12 meter of lovely fabric and it gonna be use for my current project. Click to the picture to see the larger images.
Looks like you got in on a very good sale for fabric! It sounds like fabric is expensive in Malaysia. Luckily on line fabric stores I can usually find some good sales, I do not live near a fabric store and have to drive for over an hour to get to a quilting fabric shop so I do a lot of my shopping on the computer.
