I love Hobby Lobby. Yes, check the quality, but I think the fabrics are much nicer than Wal Mart. Another good thing - if they are short on a fabric you like in the store, you can go to their web and order it because you already know what the fabric is like. I am another one who cannot afford $10-$15 a yard fabric all the time. So I fill in with what I can afford. Our Hobby Lobby has quilting cottons for $6.99, but they are ALWAYS 30% off, which makes them affordable.
