Google "quilt stores I-65, TN" and see what you get...
I just came back from Nashville and stopped at a nice quilt store in Goodlettsville TN, just north of Nashville and there was another one in Franklin KY - Just North of the TN/KY border.
Then there were 2 stores in Franklin TN, south side of Nashville.
All of these stores are w/in close to 5 min from the interstate. Stitchers Garden in Franklin TN, has a ton of fabric!!! Didn't have a lot of time to look Quality varied, but nothing seemed to be as bad as what I often see at JoAnn's lately.
The other one in Franklin TN is Quilting Squares Quilt Shop and Knitting Emporium was nice.
Lots of stores in Nashville.
