Does it hold up very well in quilts that are being used frequently?
It is about equivalent to Fabricland or Fanny's...maybe a little better. I shop there lots as I make quilts that will be used and used some more. If I were to do a "show" quality quilt, I would likely shop from my LQS. (Not that I ever expect to be good enough to enter a show!!!! ;) )
When I was in BC last June, I was amazed at how much more Canadians are paying for fabric!!! What a difference from when I lived there!!! However, I did still manage to bring home a few pieces. :D
