I wish our Wal-Mart would bring fabric back. I made a lot of quilt tops for our church ladies to tie for missions. I can't afford to do that with $9 a yard fabric. And I hear fabric prices are going up again.
Have you looked at Connecting Threads lately. They now have solids in darks, brights and muted colors! Also beautiful batiks at less than $6 a yard! I haven't ordered much from them lately as they mostly had country prints or 30's prints, but just sent off a good sized order last weekend. Haven't received it yet. But when I did order before, their fabric was very nice.
