I too am not one of those "brand name needed" kind of girls either. I have purchased lots of fabric at many different sources. I bought some lovely pink flannel for a wholecloth baby quilt,at my local LQS, I washed and dried it, and then noticed the flaw right down the middle of the fabric. Needless to say, I won't be giving this as a baby blanket now with the flaw down the middle of the darn thing. I can cut up the fabric into blocks and salvage most of it that way, but, to say that ONLY LQS fabric is good is not true.
