Well, the CT fabric was so far off from squared, it wasn't funny. There was a gap of about 3" between both sides, so I lost several inches on every single piece. The quilt shop fabric was right on, perfectly squared. I do plan to call them but I probably will not buy from CT again. Several inches on each fabric really adds up to a lot of lost money.
I don't buy fabric from them because I find their selections uninteresting; you've given me another reason.
Geography's not my long suit - if you're near Gloversville or Ravena do try those shops - great women and first quality products.
