I give all my quilts away. To family, friends, and charities. I no longer shop at JoAnn's, but do have quite a bit of their fabric that I am still using for charity quilts. I buy quite a bit from Fabric Depot in their 50% off clearance area. but I try to be careful of the price of the materials, no matter who it is, just want to use good enough fabrics that the quilt will hold up. I made a nice quilt for my son one time and used JoAnn's cheap polyester batting. Wel, never saw anything like it.... the batting dissolved after a few washings. Also don't want to make a mistake I made with a small quilt I made for my step-mother. She washed it and the back shrank terribly so it was all puckery
