A few months ago I bought 20+ yards at my LQS from the half-off room, $5 yard. Today I received a box of even more yards from Connecting Threads at $2.48 yard, with free shipping on $50 purchase. I do not see a difference in quality among any of them; they all have a smooth hand and lovely colors. I won't mind at all cutting them up for Project Linus quilts at these prices, even on my limited budget. My most difficult decision making now is how to organize my stash, since many pieces were bought to go together, and many more just because I liked them! I even (blush) was overcome with fabric greed and sent in another order to CT because they put another group on 50% discount, and besides my son found a batik on sale there that I will make into some lovely non-sheer curtains for his French doors, and if I'm spending $25 (ordered extra to keep, of course) I might as well give in to the "need" for some of those great new designs and get the free shipping, right?
