I think some fabrics are fine. you just havee to touch them and study them to see and feel the quality. The quilts I make for kids are nearly always JoAnns and many of them have been washed 100's of times. My Granddaughter is 8 and I know the first 3 years it was washed every week and sometimes twice a week in those first couple of years. Most of the fabrics are still very bright. She sleeps with it every night of her life. I made it big enough that she could use it for quite sometime. Some of the blues have faded some and we did have to replace the binding. On the other hand, I made my daughter a quilt with Moda fabrics and it to has been washed a lot, but the colors are so faded, it looks 50 years old. So I guess if it looks thin or loose woven, don't buy it.
