I try to buy from my LQS at least once a year. I am all in favor of the 'mom&pop' stores in our country being kept alive, but I also know that if I was limited to just the LQS, I would only sew once every couple of years (fixed income). So, all I can tell you is ask about color fastness, check for it, and get the fiber content you want. Where ever you buy fabric, you are helping keep people working. That is never a bad thing. If it is not nice to your senses when you buy it, it will not get better with use. It's your quilt, do it your way! :thumbup:
