Whenever I am traveling we also search out local quilt shops. I love to use white on whites so I always look at those. I have found some that I had never seen before. I have a great selection of them now! I always buy at least 1 FQ from each shop we visit. I have a good selection of them too! I believe that I read here on the board that when a member and her husband are traveling that the first shop they stop at they buy a quilt pattern. Then at the next shop they will buy focal fabric. The next shop they buy background fabric and so on; you get the picture. I think that is a marvelous idea!
