I can recommend a very nice quilt shop called Knights on US 1, around the southern Maine shore. Now if you are going for great prices and volume, you may want to Google "Mardens". There are several in Maine. Basically the chain buys up all kinds of close out merchandise, etc. Don't be put off by the buildings and the general merchandise jumble. Most of these stores (but not all) have a large fabric section. If memory serves me right, they were selling at under $6.00 a yard last year. I can vouch for the fabric depts. in the Scarborough and Sanford Maine stores. Have heard there is also a nice quilt shop in Sanford Maine, Kennebunkport and in Freeport. Maybe someone else on QB can give you more info. If not, just Google. It's beautiful country there. Have a safe trip and enjoy your stay.
