I buy fabric on line when I find a clearance sale. Seems one of the thousands of online quilt shops is having one all the time. I am close to a fabric warehouse that sells to quilt shops and I can buy name brand fabric by the bolt most times for less then $3 a yard. Connecting Threads has great clearance sales ongoing all the time. It's very good fabric and good for gift quilts and inexpensive enough for charity. I rarely pay LQS prices for fabric and I don't shop at JoAnn's or Hobby Lobby or buy Walmart fabric since it it over $6 a yard. I can buy it cheaper online and get better quality.
