Only issue I have run into is some of the fabrics vary by weight, so when you are using several different fabrics in a quilt you have to be a little careful since some can be lightweight and others medium weight, even though they are all cotton.
Not true, not even close! Keepsake calico, sold at JoAnn's has nothing to do with Keepsake Quilting...nothing at all! See this message from Rob OBrian, the KQ President, posted last year to clarify this misconception.

KQ sells only LQS quality fabrics...Kaufman, Hoffman, Moda, etc. It's not possible that their scrap bags are of a lesser quality because they do not have any 'lesser quality' fabrics available.
