I'm making a quilt for my daughter for Christmas. Which on-line site has the best prices? I checked JoAnn's out and they were high and not much of a selection.
Thanks in advance!

Try connectingthreads.com or Roberta sells batiks on the board. Do a search.

Roberta is bob---- on the board, she has the best prices you'll find, connecting threads is a good price, I don't know the quality, I just ordered some. Batiks are very high.

I noticed connecting threads has a sale. Never ordered before, but I've heard their quality is good.
Thanks!

I have some from Connecting Threads and some from Roberta. CT is a bit cheaper but Roberta's are better quality.
I do like CT though, just telling you my opinion.

The ones from Connecting Threads are nice. Also, if you're looking for the brand names at decent prices, Seawatch Fabrics has good prices and free shipping (and quick too) for orders over $30. http://www.seawatchfabrics.com/

The ones from Joann's are nice, but overpriced at regular prices. Not bad if on sale or you have a coupon. But they don't have as much variety.
