Regarding the thread count, unless the threads involved are the same size, it is not relevant.
A smaller thread may very well have more per inch yet not be as dense as a fabric with thicker threads. (Hope this makes sense)

I have bought and used the Waverly cotton from WM. The last time I was there the Department Head waited on me. She said they were surprised when the Waverly fabric shipment first came in. With each shipment they are getting more and more. They have a nice selection of colors in the solids. The prints have beautiful colors but are on the more modern side. I would definitely use them for charity quilts.

I used to buy a lot of my fabric from Wal-Mart, until they discontinued the fabric dept. at my local and other nearby Wal-Marts. Granted, there were some fabrics I would pass on because they were too flimsy, thin or just didn't feel right, but the majority of fabric was suitable for the quilts I made.

I have bought several yards of the Waverly fabric and I personally think it's lovely. I bought a pink with white polka dots and a blue polka dot also. Our local store has lovely fabrics and I have had no problem with them at all. I just cut up 2 yards of the solid white to use in a quilt and it didn't ravel anymore than any of the quilt shop fabrics. I have washed it also and it turns out great, I used a black Waverly for a quilt.
