Hi,I agree with everybody that says to shop where ever.The main thing is to feel and scrunch the fabric so you can get a idea of how thick or thin it is.Try to stay with 100% cotton.And do go to you-tube and watch Sharon Schambers videos on how to make quilts.She has the MOST valuble tips you will ever need and short cuts,and how to glue match your seams,as well as why you NEED to starch.She'll show you how to bind,miter,all the easy way with perfect seams.And don't forget the feel and scrunch the fabric.Any questions,ask here,there's so many talented quilters here on this board that will help you out.And yes,JoAnns,Walmart have great fabric too.Just don't get thin ones.Feel and scrunch for thickness.Good luck.
