Hi The only fabric store near me is JoAnn's. The fabric was $12.00 a yard. It seemed like it was a nice piece of material. I will use what is suggested. I also will wash again in hot and dry in hot. After I make the quilt I will then wash in cold with another color catcher. I really like the fabric it is so pretty. I have had fat quarters of Batik that didn't run. This just surprized me that it bleed so much. Thanks to all of you for your suggestions. BrendaK
