Fabric rant

Why is it that when you find a fabric that you absolutely love and realize that you are short of enough in order to finish a project that you find out that the design has been discontinued.  I was making binding for my neices quilt in order to finish it was looking fantastic too and then realized that I was short on it.  Grr!  So off to the fabric store only to find out that it has been discontinued and if I really wanted it the material would have to be special ordered and would be double the price.  Like WHAT!!  Now I have to refigure the binding issue and make it look like it belongs to the quilt.  I am so irritated it isn't even funny, I was near the end of the project too.
