I buy from Fabric. com and I am about to order from Connecting Threads. I have a quilt I am presently working on, so not shopping right now. I do buy from Joann's and Hancock, when DH and I travel to visit with our children and grandbabies. I just make quilts, for family. I too look for bargains. There is some really expensive fabric, and some reasonable. I find fabric.com and Connecting Threads to be reasonable. I get my backings from AAA quilter supplies. I pay around $9.95-$12.95 for a yd of 118". What's left over, I use for something else
