Since the Only LQS near me has downsized and now only sells sewing machines and notions I now shop either JoAnn s or online especially Amazon. I have a medium sized stash. A lot of my stash is fabric that I won from Fabshophop, or bought 10 or more years ago when I was still working and didn't have much time to sew. I never really understood the people who say to only use "quilt shop quality" fabrics. If you are a new quilter I think Joann's, Walmart, Garage sale, Goodwill, bed sheets, etc. makes more sense than spending $15 a yard. Or if sewing for kids or dogs or anyone! I hate to spend a lot of time and money making a quilt for someone who would just as soon buy a ready made quilt from Wal-Mart for $50. I've made a lot of things using cheap fabrics and they have turned out fine.
