Several years ago the WalMart near here did a remodel and the manager of the fabric section told all of her customers to write headquarters stating reasons WHY it was necessary for the store to keep fabric. Some weeks later I had a chance to speak with her again and she told me to tell people not to write any more letters, and also said she had seen the blueprints allowing for a cutting area for fabric! When the remodel was complete, there was indeed a fabric section, not as big as before, but there! Some of the first fabrics weren't all the greatest, but there has been more added gradually, and there is some nice-quality stuff there. I made a t-shirt quilt for a niece using a shade of red (couldn't find what I wanted in my LQS) and when I took it to my LA quilter, she complimented on the weight and feel of the fabric. So, yes, if I need to, I will buy WM fabric again. I do buy a lot of fleece there for tie blankets. They usually have a pretty good selection, especially around the holidays.
