Sounds like a plan to me. There are some other things that I have picked up and at a later time, I would be more then happy to list them and hopefully they will prove beneifical.

Thank you! I just used it and found exactly what I needed for the border of a quilt I'm working on. I had purchased fabric from one of the stores represented on this site in the past but didn't know about this resource to do comparison shopping. I don't have a quilt shop in town so this in invaluable.

I should have noted that I will continue to use a brick and morter store when I'm purchasing fabric for a new quilt--love to 'feel' the fabric and lay them next to each other. I also want the store to make a profit and stay open--but there times when these fabric sites make my day! :-)

I have used this site for quite a while. Love it. If you also put the word "SALE" after your description, it will only give you sites that have that item currently on sale. What a lifesaver. I have never had any trouble buying from these shops.
