I bluyl material from all over. When I first started quilting, the only place I had to buy was wall-mart. That was 13 years ago, and the quilts have been used, and are still holding up. Yes, I have had to make some repairs, but just because of all the washing and using. I am careful, at wall-mart, but you can get good material, you just have to check it out. You don't have as big a choice there though. I have ordered on line, and liked what i got, and I have bought lots from LQS and liked it also, so there is no right or wrong answer.
