I'm not bashing China...but I make mostly baby things and I've been very cautious of items from there due to so many recalls.

Not the latest batch, have used calicos fron them before w/ no problems, I do watch for weight/thickness when purchasing, gimme a couple of hours I'll give an update.
some are this assortment includes Quilters showcase, one that says exclusively for them, legacy studio hampton court,and a mtb thats the lightest of the bunch,
Keep in mind I like fluffy soft when complete, (may step on some toes here, please excuse) don't care for the feel of a moving blanket, may last forever, just not to my taste.
Of course QP may get me for that one :):)

May I ask what a 'moving blanket' is?
