Since I make only wall sizes quilts and doll quilts I buy what I like . Being on limited income makes it necessary to buy where I can get the most for my money. I've bought at all the fabric shops and lqs and buy what appeals to me for the project I'm working on. My Wal-Mart never gave up their fabrics and since they are putting fabrics back in thier stores I find the quality is getting better. IMHO.
