I buy at Joann's because of the price and the coupons. The fabric is good for a normal quilt, I do not make 'heirloom' quilts. Any quilt I make is used by the person I give it to. I went the other day for a backing and I had a 50% off coupon for fabric. This lap quilt is going to be given to charity. I find all sorts of things at Joann's to buy with their coupons. I also made my daughter a king size quilt for her anniversary and bought all the fabric at Joann's, it would have cost me a fortune at a quilt store. Why do I buy there ? Her dog has already chewed holes in this quilt. I have never had a bad experience with anything I have bought.
