I've purchased a lot of fabric from WalMart. I have even seen the same fabric there that I saw at JoAnn's Fabrics for about 1/2 the price. Our WalMart never closed the fabric department but it did shrink. I have noticed they have been getting in more of a variety but have not expanded. It just seems more crowded. Oh well, the quality seems better and I just bought enough material to make an entire quilt. Washed and dried the material and it turned out pretty good.

my opinion has changed on the quality of walmart fabric at least in my area - i have some fabric from Connecting Threads that is most loved on this forum and the quality from CT is extremely inferior to the quality i can get at my local walmart and at half the price.
