There are several stores there. Does anybody shop there for quilting fabric? Recommendations, please.

I have been shopping there for years. Golden D'or is huge and has every kind of fabric you'd ever want. When inside, look for the sign that says "cotton"--that's where you want to be. They also have many Minky designs for a reasonable price. They have quilting cotton in all sorts of styles. Don't expect to buy all you need for a quilt there. A lot of it is "hit or miss". Probably over runs. They may have three or four from a single line, but not all the fabrics in the line. Over on Perth Street, I like C & C (or is it C & S??). They have lots of cotton--mostly novelty. Both places are $4-6 per yard with a few exceptions. There are several other stores along Perth, but they have mostly home dec/upholstery fabric. Some are satin/silk/lacy for gowns and wedding dresses. I like to roam around in all of them because you can sometimes find some interesting trims, buttons, notions, etc. It's worth the trip, especially for backings.
