Hi, I have had good experiences in purchasing from Ebay and other online fabric shops. The only issue I have run into is color variance due to the picture quality of what I am looking at. So far I have not run into a problem in the color being off enough to matter. JoAnn's is great place to buy as well and they always have coupons. I usually go there or to quilt shops if I want everything to be exactl. Good luck and Happy Quilting!
