ConnecthingThreads also has a "clearance" area so you can get your material at an even lower price. Their shipping is reasonable.
Ditto. I use Connecting Threads and the service is quick. No waiting in line, either! For a first quilt, this would be a good place to start. I have no financial interest in this company.
