Our local Wal-Mart has always had a fabric dept.; I'm a relatively new customer in that dept. as my quilting bug just bit me last fall! Now I'm a regular supporter of their's! Our's has a great amount of cotton fabrics good for quilting; some is too thin, but that's a small selection. I can always find quilting fabrics of good quality at VERY reasonable prices (and I'm only about 14 miles away).
