Wish I could go to a discounted fabric warehouse. Think I would set a dollar amount to spend. Look over projects that are on your wish list Make notes of fabric requirement for a couple of projects. You can estimate fabric costs based on quilt shop sales. If the estimate is within your budgeted amount, you should be good to go. The discounted shop should be less espensive. When I lived on the west coast, we went to Las Vegas often. We always set a dollar amount we would 'lose'. Never planned on winning and never spent more than planned. Give us a review of the shop. Does it have a website, pricing, etc. Have fun.
