Thanks to everyone for taking the time to give your input! I am happy to hear that it probably won't cause a problem, almost all of my quilting fabrics are quilt shop quality, so I will probably will take the chance and mix them. I'll make sure to prewash batiks, flannels and probably many reds.
DJ, I have been in Alaska for almost 10 years and Homer for three years. Do come visit when you get the chance, I consider myself sooo lucky to live here. It is so beautiful sometimes it almost hurts your eyes to look at it!
And...yes, there is a LQS here
