I love how they look but, to me, Connecting Threads fabric is skimpy. When I try to use it next to quilt shop fabric, it doesn't even come close, so they can't be mixed in a quilt, at least in my opinion. I was using one of the CT fabrics last night and I also notice a lot of the wrinkles don't come out of them like quilt shop fabric. They just aren't anyone I would order from again. I much prefer Keepsake Quilting.
