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.
Well . . . I still think "quality" is in the eye of the beholder. If the fabric that arrives is thin and transparent I really don't compare that to LQS quality. Also, the scrap bag I ordered didn't have even one of the fabrics shown in the picture and in fact, 80% of them really weren't what I expected at all. Ugly colors and ugly patterns. If half of the fabrics would have looked like the picture either in pattern or in color, I wouldn't have been so disappointed. But I have ordered many other things from them before and have loved them. I just was very disappointed with the scrap bag.
