This is my first place to go, and has been for about 6 years now.

http://www.quiltshops.com

It's a compilation of 200 or so stores. You can search for what you want, example, Clothworks black, or Moda moire, then you will be able to see all the stores that are carrying what you want. Then just compare prices, and order from the individual store.

Me too. I have often found a specialty fabric I needed when I couldn't find it anywhere else. Now, I go there first.

When they have free shipping, I get fabric from The Virginia Quilter. They have excellent quality fabric and great service.

Hancock of Paducah, connecting threads, Love Missouri Quilt Co - I haven't had any trouble with online purchases - Grandmother's Attic was great as well

I've ordered from several, but Connecting Threads is my favorite, I've never been disappointed by them!

Whittles is my favorite you can't beat the prices. Not free shipping but the prices more than make up for it.
http://www.whittlesfabrics.com/ They are having a fall sale right now.Some fabric as low as $2.50 a yard.

Thank you. Unfortunately, I donated that to a silent auction and the picture is the only thing I have left. I made it from a book called Moon Dance by Cary Flanagan. I purchased the book from The Cotton Club. It's really good for panels and large print fabrics. That particular quilt was only 18" square.

Even paying shipping, it's cheaper for me to order from them than to shop locally for the quality of fabric (which is kind of sad).
I think their fabric is quite thin compared to my local quilt shop. It's ok for charity quilts but I don't like it for something really special that you want tighter thread count on.

Fabric.com and Fabric Depot have both been good for me. Also, Connecting Threads has some nice inexpensive fabrics and they are pretty reliable.
