A friend who sells fabric and I were talking - his take was the fabric that I purchased might have been produced for clothing and not quilting. It was just speculation on his part but side by side there was a marked difference.
Last year Marden's bought out the entire stock of Kaffe fabric when it switched from Westminster to the other company (Timeless Treasurers??? Name is escaping me). I have seen a difference between the two manufacturers. New production is not as high quality as the Westminster Fabrics line in my opinion. I still love his prints though!
