I had the same luck with some fabric a couple of years back. I needed 8 yards for a backing for a quilt for my niece. I found a light purple...perfect for the quilt...and paid only a $1 per yard. Best bargain I've ever gotten! I know what you mean about some people are about where they buy their fabric but I can't afford $9.99-$12.99 per yard on a regular basis....on special occasions & in desperate need for the "perfect" fabric but I will check at Walmart regularly. Haven't had a problem!!! Good for You!!!
