Repro Depot has some good upholstery fabrics at what I think are reasonable prices.

Try googling around for Amy Butler's "Nigella" upholstery fabric. It can be had for around $15 a yard.

Last month I got 2 pillows from Tonic Living and got excellent service. I just ordered some fabric to frame and turn into art.

I agree with hegiranyc - check out the fabric department at IKEA. often has bolts of patterns you won't see on the furniture but are fantastic.
