Have used the fabric for many years (some of my stores still had some left). You have to watch it and know what you want to use it for. I wouldn't use it for a competition, but for swaps, wall hangings, table toppers, quilts for sale and family I use it all the time. I try not to mix LQS with Jo-ann, Hobby Lobby, Wal-Mart in a project. The non LQS fabric does fade a bit faster with washing, at least here where the water is very hard and 'recycled'. Others won't use it no matter what, but that is their choice and their pocketbook....
