I usually go to a few stores, Hancock, Walmart, JoAnn's and my local quilt shops. I have found much the same as everyone else here has. I usually shop sales. I have had good luck with Wal-mart. My biggest issue is I was looking for some embroidery floss, and they have quit carry that. Our stores here have remodeled, and so we are down to not a ton of fabric, but I am still finding cute things there. I agree with what someone else has said, to look for what you can afford.
