At that price, I would have found plenty of uses for that material! When another wal-mart near me got rid of their fabric department, I had all of these ideas of things to make with what was on sale for 50% off. I did grocery bags, kitchen accessories, I have a quilt planned for hubby, and pillow cases for the kids!

Man, I keep hearing about these bolts and the baskets that are 50% off at Walmart and I think I'm getting a little envious. I am very happy that atleast my Walmart has fabric, but sure wish they did this stuff. I'm lucky if I find anyfabric on sale there at all anymore and their remnants is only 20% off plus a total tied up mess so hard to even see what it is. Good luck to anyone else who looks at their Walmart for these deals...hope you guys get good ones!

I heard all of the wal-marts are doing away with fabric. It really is kind of ironic how the wally worlds without fabric are still selling sewing machines. :roll:

My guess would be money. It might seem busy, but WM only does things from a business stand point. Can they make more money selling big screen TV's or yards of fabric?

That's my guess, too! They get a bigger profit per square foot of floor space from more expensive items than they do from "lowly fabric." You gotta satisfy the masses I guess. :roll:

I think I'm going to run out to my Walmart to see if they have any deals going on in the fabric department! 8-)

Went to another WM on my way home. Had more bolts of pretty much the same material, but did find a bolt of the wider material in purple, and a second bolt of the jungle print. Now I can use that print for kalidoscope quilt and regular too. Also found a great patriotic print, nice quality, for $1 a yard (got 4). DH found some FQ's of decent quality that appealed to him for $1 each. All100% cotton. So I am a happy camper...ahhh, quiter. ;-)
