z and s fabrics is having 50% off everything on their site and is it is name brand fabric. The rented mule quilt is having 25% off everything.
I personally like connecting threads fabric for the most part (got some layer cakes and jelly roll strip - but I am spoiled to Moda and was a little disappointed but still used them), but if I already had name brand fabric for the rest of the quilt, I'd probably get more of the name brand. That's my personal opinion only.
