I've ordered three times and been really happy with the quality of fabric. Besides novelty prints, I usually order the 108" wide backings as that is the very best value. The local quilt shop's backings are exactly the same as what I buy but cost @4.00 more per yard. I just got in an order of tie dyed backings and the fabric is thick and tightly woven. I haven't tested for colourfastness but since I use Color Catchers I'm not sure it will be a big problem. I ordered a bunch of batiks from another company and the colour ran some, but not too badly and the designs on the Marshall's batiks are the very same I have, so I'm guessing they came from Marshalls to begin with.
