I always get mine at Joanns, Hancock fabrics, or Walmart.

For me, Gotta have the WOW, COC and Muslin in supply.

They enhance the image so that you can see the pattern - their fabric is nice quality as well.
yes, they have a nice selection.

I usually go for the prints and colors and get the background fabrics when I decided what to do with the prints and colors. A lot of patterns now don't calll for a light background fabric. I usually have some on have but when I need 2 yards, I will have 1 1/2 yards on hand. Murphy's law!

I'm right there with you! I'm always collecting prints and patterns for my stash but it never occurs to me to get anything neutral.

I have been ordering a lot of fabric from Connecting Threads, and whenever I do an order, I always include at least a yard or two of neutrals. I don't remember when I go to the fabric store, so that's my way of building my neutrals stash.

I also tend to forget neutrals and whites when shopping. It must have to do with the brighter fabrics catching the eye.

Its the first thing on my list when I go sale shopping, or don't have anything I need but have that 40 percent off coupon.
