I have bought them several times and LOVE them. But of course I love all of their fabrics. My most recent purchase was of small cream print for the background of my CW DJ. I bought 8 yards at $2.50 ea. And I have spread out the ENTIRE 8 yrds salvege to salvege and have yet to find the error. I bought it figuring that there were so few places that any design on the background would show on the 5" blocks that it wouldn't matter.

But I have also bought the 2nds before and have never been able to find the flaws. Oh well, guess if they decide that I should have it for $2.50 then I'll just take it for $2.50.

Oh, and I also buy alot of their fabrics on clearance. Either by the yard or the kits. 50% off is too hard to pass up.

I have purchased a lot of their clearance fabrics for $2.50 and under. The flaws are so minute that the average person cannot find them. Most of my quilts are not being judged by a quilt expert so I really would rather get a better deal than spend alot of money on fabric prices these days.

Woops... Sorry about that... a did a double post. I do not understand why that has been happening lately! Hope I don't get into trouble.

I also ordered the matching quilting thread. I would say go for it.

I love CT and now that you have enlightened me to the fabric seconds I'll be placing an order :-)
