I buy 99% of my fabric from Marshall's as it is only about a 2 hour drive for me. I see many quilt shop vans in the parking lot when I'm there too. Marshall's is a fabric distributor. There have other buildings full of fabric other then the one open to the public. When I go I get a rep to sign my ticket so I can buy whole bolts at wholesale price. Cut off the bolt by the yard cost more as they have to pay employees to cut but still a bargain. My two friends and I split 15 yard bolts so we each get 5 yards each. Usually $2.98 a yard but none over $3.98 a yard since, my last trip.
