Welcome to this wonderful board. You will find lots of help here.
I am not a fabric snob. I buy fabric that feels good and buy from Wal Mart, Hobby Lobby, Joanns and have even bought some from a fabric shop. I usually buy what I can afford. I give away most of the quilts I have made and will give away ones made in the future.
I have a fairly new Granddaughter in law that loves my quilts. I have given her about 8 quilts and will give her some more. She appreciates whatever I give her in fabrics of my choice and patterns I pick.
