I have to disagree that Connecting Threads fabric is similar to JoAnn's quality - I think CT's fabric is much better, although it is not the same as LQS fabric. However, the prices can't be beat, and they are a wonderful company to deal with. Just one caveat if you do order from CT - they sometimes discontinue fabrics very quickly. So make sure that you have enough of whatever you're going to use for the big quilt that you're making. The color palette sounds wonderful, by the way!
