I just joined the forum, so I wasn't aware of your question until now. I am a Colorado resident. Many really good quilt stores in this state. Durango has a great quilt store that used to belong to Jackie Robinson. Can't remember the name, but it is on the highway heading towards Cortez. Also, while your are in Grand Junction visit Hi Fashion Fabrics and Quilters Corner. Both good selections. Colorado Springs has 3 or 4 quilt stores that I have meant to visit, but haven't yet. If your come up through Alamosa and Del Norte-they each have good little stores--in other words--plenty of options! Have fun in sunny Colorado!
