I'm with you, Girls! Now don't laugh, but.......my fabric for Boom 20 is washing as we speak. I had a killer coupon for JoAnn's today and I just could not resist it! I got 60 % off the bolt price with an additional 25 % off my entire order. To good to pass up.

First of all, I just have to say how much I already love being apart of this board! I'm trying to remember all the "things" about each person, but other than the hairless chickens I'm having a hard time! I'll get there!
I have another "newbie" question for all of you... all the talk about JoAnn's... last fall I took a beginning quilt class (at a local quilt store). The instructor (owner) was adamant that the quality of the fabric at JoAnn's was not good enough for quilting. I have used it in the past for some Tshirt quilts and didn't seem to have any problem. I did notice a bit of a difference, but I'm just curious what all you think. How do you determine if a fabric is "good enough"? Or is this a personal preference?

I think it is a personal preference. I usually buy my fabric at quilt shops. QUID sells some fabric that is about the same as JoAnn's and at a lower price. I usually use my coupons for cutting blades & notions.I have bought fabric there and it works just fine.

Wow! mjp it really is beautiful. I also like the other fabrics posted by Mar & Aunt.
Here's the Hawaiian quilt I just finished. I hope this helps those of you have Hawaiian fabric sitting around. I've included some of the first FMQ I did on the used sweet sixteen I bought and my foray into paper piecing.
