    I just checked out the Whittles site. How do know who makes the fabric? Blenders for $3.50 a yard sounds good, but whose is it? Some of the $6.95 had names on it, but then there's the shipping. Connecting Threads mixes very well with LQS fabric for me.

    i have ordered from connecting threads a few times. the colors are not as vibrant as those i prefer. having said that, the pricing is good, the customer service is superb. they respond quickly to all problems, the last kit i purchased lacked 5 " of background fabric and they are posting it to me at no charge, even when i offered to pay for it if they could send it without the 50 dollar minimum order.

    I have not ordered fabric from CT but I have been to and bought fabric from Whittles. It is quilt shop quality.
