I think you have to be careful anywhere you shop for fabric. Most often you will find a variety of quality ranging from very nice to not so hot, although the LQS's I've been to seem to have a lot more of the 'very nice' than is usual in any of the chain stores.

I have purchased some fat quarter Bundles from JoAnn's that I discovered were fabrics by Hoffman, Kona Bay and Timeless Treasures. They were top notch fabrics not the normal flat fatquarter you see. There were like 5 in a package, found them both in Florida and Tennessee..

I will have to check out Big Lots here and see if they have them.

Hey my daughter and I was in Big Lots last Sunday, just looking around and lo and behold I found the same fat quarters. Only I bought 10. Haven't opened mine up either. But for a 1.00, I can use them for anything, right? They were pretty to look at anyway.

Just an FYI, if these are from the same manufacturers that Joanne's carries. The ones at Joanne's go on sale (I think) Tues. for $1.

Those are really pretty prints! Has anyone felt them yet, are they nice quality? I have bought some from JoAnns that were nice and thick, great fabric, and a few that were thin and not so nice! Its just hard to tell the quality when they are wrapped up like this!
