I have read all 5 pages of this thread and have to say I agree with everyone. I think most of us can tell "quality" when we see it, or feel it, and the cost is usually not indicative of that quality. I quilt for fun and the feeling of accomplishment it gives me. I love to see the look on the face of someone I give a quilt that says I really hit the mark, it is just what they would have made if they could. My quilts often have used clothing, LQS, Hancock's, Fabric Outlet and online fabrics all in the same quilt. Most of the quilts I make are used and well loved by my family. No one has ever complained about the "quality" of the fabric. Happy quilting everyone, enjoy the process!
