I know ladies that can not even afford to drive to walmart more than once or twice a month let alone buy any more than clearance fabric. You are very fortunate to be able to afford high quality fabrics ,but many are not .I ofen give huge scrap bags of fabrics to these ladies who in turn sell the finished items (twin quilts) at 30-40 dollars just to be able to buy their medicine every month. So I for one am happy to have wal mart fabric departments back "inferior fabrics " and all !
I am with you and DawnFurlong, raedar63. I quilt for my own pleasure and get my fabrics everywhere and anywhere. I don't care if they last 50 years and I'm guessing the people I give them to don't either. Who knows, they might anyway.
