Our Joann's carries a number of fabrics that are the same pattern as the LQS. I bought it as it was $8.99 vs. $10.99. It was fine but it wasn't the same fabric. I wrote to the manufacturer as they produced both pieces and the response was the thread count of the fabrics was different. One was run for quilt shops and the other was a less expensive alternative. I will admit I buy $3-4 yard fabric for my backing but for my tops I am a LQS snob. I just love the higher thread count fabrics. But I will still shop Joann's if it's what I can afford a the moment.
