Truth be told, I rarely shop at LQS, main reason is that I don't need any more fabric, second is the closest one is 100 miles from here, third reason is the price. I would buy LQS quality fabric IF I were to SELL a quilt, but since 99% of my quilts are donated, I REALLY can't justify spending tons of money for fabric and give the quilt away, BUT I do use GOOD quality fabrics. I will also buy cotton clothing at thrift stores or yard sales, if I like the fabric and take it apart. Also for backs, I use either sheets or muslin.
