    welcome to the board... as you can see, there are as many answers to your question as there are quilters.

    Connecting threads and fabric.com have lots of good sales and very good quality fabric, or at least what I have bought from them has been.

    I've just starting collecting fabric and I'm finding things now at yard sales, GW and on craigslist. You can check out my latest haul over in Pictures titled Roadtrip! We had a great time and the fun is now in the hunt. Hang in there and you'll get it built up. When I figure out what I'm doing I will buy material for a quilt but for now this is working.

    Do you have a freecycle network where you live, sheets and duvet covers are fabulous for backing and tops too :)

    I have had good luck at rummage sales at churches. Always been able to pick up some nice stuff cheap. Sometimes it might not be exactly the prettiest but it work for figuring out patterns. I would rather experiment on fabric i got for maybe a couple of dollars then ruin a piece that i paid more for.

    And actually Hobby Lobby isn't that pricey compared to other places.

    fabric.com and they have coupons and free shipping
    whittles fabric
    quilt fabric closeouts

    these all carry well known brands of fabric

    then there's Connecting Threads which produces their own fabric, some people like it and others don't.

    all of these are online shops
