I think most quilt shop quality fabrics are made outside of China, so I don't think the recently increased Chinese tariffs affect them.

If anything, it's other costs, increased wages, potential health insurance costs, even increases in local taxes. I pretty much can't afford $15/yard fabric, so when I shop online, I'm not taking away from LQS. If my only source was LQS, I'd probably have to cease my hobby.
