I so agree with this! When I meet people who won't buy anything other than LQS fabric, I am reminded of "The Emporer's New Clothes." I was at a quilt shop recently where one of the fabtrics in a sample quilt was a staple of JoAnn's collection. I recognized it because I keep it on hand for sashing. Give us all a break and buy fabric based on how it feels and how it looks instead of where you bought it. froggyintexas
