I am currently working on a quilt exclusively out of the Legacy Studios fabric. It has a wonderful texture and feel, I would guess that the thread count is high like 400 (same for the keepsakes collection). I am picky about fabric, I see people who rave about their finds at Wal-Mart and I have seen some very cute fabric there but when I feel it the thread count tells me its not as high a quality as I would buy so I skip it even though it's tempting because its so cheap compare to the LQS where most of it is $9 a yard. I would recommend the line of fabric.
