As I read all the opinions posted on fabric quality, I seem to be picking up on a theme here. "Quality" is relative to the project one is working on. If I"m going to make a pet bed to donate to the animal shelter, odds are I'm not going to spend $15/yrd on high thread count fabric. I'm going to buy the cheaper stuff. The dog that lays on the pet bed isn't going to care where I came up with the fabric, how high or low the thread count is, if the colors bleed etc. It's your quilt, your money, your fabric, your rules.
