I buy some quilt store fabric. (When the budget permits.) I quilt and sew predominantly with JoAnn's, Hobby Lobby and Wal-mart too. And, those quilts hold up just fine. Wal-mart is now carrying a line of Waverly fabrics and it's between 2.97 and 3.97 a yard. They have solids, tonals and fun prints. I buy JoAnn Fabrics when they are 40 or 50 percent off. Or, with a coupon. Yes, the quilt store fabric does have a nice touch and quality. But, I can't make a whole quilt out of it. Usually, I buy fat quarters or 1/2 yard cuts of those. And, I save up for them. Also, check out connectingthreads.com. I buy their cotton thread and they have great regular prices and sale prices all the time. I have personal experience with their fabric and like them.
