I wouldn't have WalMart fabric if they gave it to me. One of my quilting teachers gave a lecture about their fabric & it really slammed my eyes open (the inferior greige goods -- I think they're called -- used, the fading). Nope... not if they gave it to me.

I buy way more fabric than I "should" but I do try to get it on sale.
Would you buy fabric at Jo-Ann's that is the same as fabric at Wal-Mart? If you wanted it, I mean. Just yesterday I saw fabric at Jo-Ann's (a green and white dot) that I bought months ago at Wal-Mart. At Jo-Ann's it was $4.99/yd. I paid $2/yd at Wal-Mart. Same.exact.fabric.

Not trying to change your mind, just wondering.
