Only issue I have run into is some of the fabrics vary by weight, so when you are using several different fabrics in a quilt you have to be a little careful since some can be lightweight and others medium weight, even though they are all cotton.

they also have free shipping online if you order more than $50 and keepsake doesnt unless theyre haveing a special or something. keepsake also has more notions i think than ct but theyre both great places and seem to have great customer service from my point of veiw.

Not even the same color. Example: I ordered a fabric that I thought had a light tan background with purple flowers and green leaves. When it arrived, the background was actually a light green and the leaves were more khaki and brown rather than green. So if you are ordering a specific color, it might not be what you think.

You should do that. A lot of the time the fault on color is with your computer! What you see is NOT always what you get when viewed on a computer monitor. Older computer models may not have the color capability. I actually have this problem at work - when I am sent a marketing brochure for proofing, I never look at the color - I always wait for the printed copy. Keepsake would probably send swatches if you ask and if you need a specific match.
