I am enjoying this topic very much. I agree with the gal that said, it is made out of love, buy what you can afford. And the quilt in the dog pen...I think I would have pulled it out and taken it home with me. I know that the runs on fabric too are good better and best. I have phased out most of my walmart fabric too, but I bought some about 6 years ago when they brought in a truckload at 2 bucks a yard, and it was beautiful fabric. Made two trips around the world, and they are on my beds and everybody that sees them loves them. It truly is preference and affordability.
