I cannot and will not pay $12 - $13 a yard for some of the LQS fabrics. If that was my only availability, I'd have to give up quilting. There is junk fabric wherever you go, even LQS. Feel the fabric, check the weave and inspect color uniformity and let that be your criteria wherever you shop. Frankly, if my quilts don't hold up for 50 years, that's fine with me. I won't be around to see what happens to them by then. Use them, enjoy them and if they wear out, I'll make you another.
