Interesting. I often wondered about this. Great quilts are made from fabrics that are recycled and recreated into works of art that provide warmth and comfort. It really depends on your personal perspective and intentions for use.

Each fabric has three different runs. The first as mentioned previously is to make sure everything is correct. That is sold as flat fold. The second run corrects anything needed. That is the Joann's, Hanocock's, etc. The third run is the final and best-quilt shop quality. The quality you use is totally up to you. You pay for what you get. Why buy cheap when you can find first quality on sale?
