That's in US dollars, it's about 30 euros per meter or 13-15 euros per meter for the cheap fabric. Fat quarters are 7 euros which is about $10 for a fat quarter!! Be very, very grateful for our prices in the US. I can't wait to get home!


At the IQF in Houston, Texas last year, there were some European fabrics in the blue,yellow, red and they were expensive...Don't know how much per yard but I just know that compared to what we have here, they were very costly!!
