In Missouri, several Walmart stores went up for remodel. Each one, after the remodel, discontinued selling fabric on the bolt. Instead, they sold fat quarters, jellies, and units with 1 to 2 yards. Their selection and quality of the fabrics went down. They even had "kits" so you could make crafty items including quilts. The thread selection was limited, about 2/3 of the original stand. It was disappointing to see it all go. I noticed yesterday, they are selling 5 yd. bolts of some fabric in our store again. It is cheap, and not even cotton!
I hope this doesn't happen to your store. Luckily, there are quilt shops in the area who charge reasonable prices. Up in the city, fabric goes for around $10 a yard. At that price, I would run out of fabric quickly!
