Debbie I wish my Wal-mart had fat quarters. The closest thing in our store is kits for aprons and kits for sherpa vests! That's the only fabric in ours--I look everytime I go in sometimes 2 or 3 times a week. Other than that we have 1 fabric store that specializes in heirloom sewing and an upholstery outlet that has a table of dress fabric remenants. Talk about your basic rural shopping. I either have to drive a hour for some quilting shops and Hancocks or I order online. Looking forward to Michaels opening. I know they usually don't have fabric but for kids school projects, Michaels will be a blessing.
