I don't worry so much about fabrics as there will always be places to buy them on sale. I tend to like the older collections anyway as I am not to fond of the newer bright, busy in your face patterns. My concern is my beloved King Tut thread. I already pay on sale 18.75 for 2,000 yards and believe me that is hard to find at that price. Normally it runs 24.95....you have to have thread to make a quilt and the thought of downgrading the quality of my thread makes me ill.
