no, you are not being a snob for wanting a good quality fabric for your quilt. You are right, if you are going the work such
a long time on a quilt, you want good quality fabric in it.

I just ordered 5 yards of Kona black from The Fabric
Shack. They had it for $4.19 a yard and they have
half price shipping. You can order up to $75.00 worth
of fabric and the shipping is only $2.50. My 5 yards,
including shipping is only $23.45 and it is quilt shop only
quality. I love The Fabric Shack and order from them often.
They are fast, and their prices can't be beat. The link to
the Kona is below.
