I've been building my stash, because someone was kind enough to warn me a while back that prices were going up. Everyone thinks I'm bonkers, but with the way things are going, there may not be any fabric to buy, at least at a price we can afford.
About WalMart, I detest it, but one day I did find some very nice material there... lovely hand... that's when I found out they were closing out their fabric. You just have to know good fabric, as we all learn to do, and keep an open mind, wherever you find it. I think the LQSs are going to be eating a lot of expensive fabric. A local LQS near me is going out of business, and I hate to see that, but even their going-out-of-business prices are too high for me, since my quilts are not exhibit quality.
