Connecting threads quality is just as good as quilt shop. I'm sort of a fabric snob and "thought" because their prices were so low it must be junk fabric. I actually started buying after my friend showed me fabrics she had purchased from them. I felt it and have been HOOKED ever since. You won't be sad you did it.
I just bought some fabrics that are gray scale sort of fabrics for a quilt I'm making for my daughter from the "April in Paris" line. This is not Connecting Threads, but I thought I'd share this fabric line with you since I found it interesting. I'm using the French collage fabric as the backing of the quilt so she can make it reversible if she wants.
Hope this helps!
