I buy a lot of fabric online, because fabric is so costly. On EBay, I generally ask a lot of questions, and still get occassional surprises. One box came today, and while it certainly is quilting cotton, it is flannel. I guess that was meant to be, so I have np more excuses not to make a raggy quilt
It comes down to price with me - .99/yard fabric is no bargain if it costs $8.95 in shipping! I will agree with the fivebucksayard site - consistantly high quality. If I find something I loove at a quilt store, I will price online before buying. If you know the maker, pattern, and color you want, there are some great bargains.
