They are running a shop hop til May 31st, and you can always use this site during months they aren't running a hop to search through the list of quilt shops and even do a particular fabric search.

This is my suggestion too. I have bookmarked several of them as favorites. Some appeal to me visually and some don't. Quilting is sort of like eating. We eat with our "eyes" first, before it ever reaches our mouth, or in this case, our hands.
