I am making a quilt right now with fabric I purchased from Walmart. The fabric is gorgeous, I paid $2.47/yd for it and I'll bet that no one would be able to tell that it's not fabric from an LQS at $9.99/yd. I would love to support the smaller stores but I'd rather save money and get bargains at Walmart, Fabric.com, eBay, and many other online sources so that I can make more quilts. When the LQS starts offering real sales and discounts instead of just $1.00 off per yd. that's when I'll patronize them more frequently. I am very particular about the fabric I use but I am not a fabric snob.
